My Project

My High School students are ecstatic to try new experiences in the arts. Applied Design Art students would use these tools and supplies to create their own glittering stained glass pieces from small sun catchers to window panels.

These required tools and safety gear would set my students up for, an unforgettable educational experience of working with glass to expand on their art experiences in the classroom.

My artists will create their own unique glass art pieces to learn this exciting medium. The soldering irons, pliers, tools, & safety goggles are an integral part of the stained glass process. We have the glass ready to go, now we just need the tools to get started.
