learn to make stained glass

I am doing a Flutterby with deep blue wings and a light blue body. Hoping that it will be neater than my cackhanded humming bird

I made a clear glass humming bird and now I am on to making ar rose :-)

Background: J gets in these modes when all he wants to do is figure out possibilities for our future. He is in his second year of medical school, and was looking up possible places for residency & beyond. I think he found a job board that mentioned an opening in tiny Winona.

He mentioned a big draw for me could be the fact that it’s the Stained Glass Capital of the World.

We spent the morning looking at the websites for all the six(!) stained glass workshops. It’s all so beautiful.

I have no idea when or how the stained glass will be incorporated into my creativity, but I did have a lot of fun looking at more styles.

And now, if anything, I know where a cool town I could visit the next time I’m in Minnesota. :) Though I somehow doubt we’ll ever live there…

Well, I’ve applied

Wish me luck :-)

When the next begining stain glass class happens. I really want to take it. I am lucky I can take them on m base and the boss over my boss teaches it. So that means all I have to do is pay for supplies.

I still know how to do it even though it’s been years. It was nice to see this on someone’s list. It made me remember lots of things.

So once again, I am not giving up on this.. just setting it aside till I have the time to dedicate to it;)

I have never done anything with stained glass and I would love to learn. I think it is so beautiful.

I think any art concerning glass is so neat. The clarity or opaqueness, capturing light, and the colors! But stained glass is so unique, because you can derive shapes and forms. I always walk through cathedrals in such awe. And I’m seeing a lot more people just do stained glass as a hobby, and it’s so cool! I figured out that my creative style involves piecing together smaller parts to form one big picture: I love quilts, I’m big into cardmaking right now, I was mosaicing a lot when I had space, and now my love of stained glass seems to fit that motif so well. :)

I love to be crafty and artsy, but I don’t ever seem to make time or have space for it….I’m afraid to put this down as a goal that I never work towards, but I WILL put it down to keep me inspired, to help me research where I can take classes and get supplies, and see if I can bring it to fruition!
