"Tiffany" Taking Shape in Stained Glass!

Stained Glass has made immense progress since the last time I checked. When I last saw, everyone was working on their first piece, and they were just cutting out the pieces of glass with glass-cutters. Now, most of the students have finished multiple stained glass creations, and are working on their fourth or fifth piece. It seems that they are using both Tiffany and traditional styles, but are making as many pieces as possible before the two weeks are out.

Basically, the Stained Glass Winterim has the students make one main, circular piece. Each main piece is entirely unique and characterized by bright colors, creative designs, and intense visual appeal. They generally have basic yet bright and picturesque designs, such as a setting sun or sailboats or a bright yellow sun. The quality of the main pieces is so high that you might expect to see these in a church window somewhere.

After they finished their main creations, the Stained Glass students have moved on to make things that they like out of stained glass. There were stencils for every design under the sky for the students to use. Today, I saw kids making brightly colored soccer balls, horses, music notes, ice cream cones, birds, and many more other interesting designs. Someone even had made the Deathly Hallows sign!

Overall, the students in Stained Glass are letting their creative juices flow in more ways than one, and they should be very proud of their work. I look forward to updating on their progress in the near future
