Independent Project

Introduction

During this course students will design and create an independent project on their own. Students will have access to studio tools as well as enough material to create up to a 6"x6" window (or combined with Saturday's class for a 12" x 12"). Our glass instructor Emily will be working in the studio to maintain student safety, set up work stations and provide occasional guidance to students. Students will be responsible for finishing their projects within the three day course period, and will be require to sign up for an additional course if projects are not completed by the closing of class on the last day. (Emily will be available to help students with time management). The lower price point reflects that students are working independently with minimal assistance.

Students are welcome to bring bevels and gems to add to their work, as well as their own cutters, but are not permitted to bring any additional glass/tools unless given prior approval.

Students must have taken Introduction to Stained Glass and Pattern Design (102) or Lampshade (165) in order to register. If you have significant stained glass experience we may be able to make an exception as well.

Teacher

A native Vermonter, Emily was raised in a log cabin nestled into the rolling hills of the Worcester mountain range. She spent much of her childhood exploring the countryside on horseback and swimming in the frigid mountain rivers. Growing up in a family of artists and craftsman, she developed a hunger for creativity, and a passion for creating things with her hands. Emily has experience working in many different mediums, ceramics, jewelry, woodworking, mosaics and glass fusing to name a few, but her true passion remains deeply rooted in stained glass. Emily learned the art of stained glass through an independent study in high school, mentored by Chris Jeffrey, a renowned stained glass artist based in central Vermont. Emily attributes much of her success as an artist and personal growth to the close friendship that she and Chris have maintained in the years following her study. Since opening her private studio, Emily has gone on to instruct kindergarten through high school students as well as adults, finding great happiness providing a positive learning environment in which to share her love of stained glass.
