Fun With Paper

Folding and cutting paper are techniques used in many cultures.

Each day a new technique will be introduced. Computers may be used for designs.

Stained-glass Plate (Only 4 Spots Left)

Without the mess of broken glass nor the smell of leaded solder, we will make stained-glass plates using designs from many cultures or spontaneous free-form ideas. Students will decide a design, lay out the "leaning" or outline. Then a water-soluble polymer substance is spread on glass and dries transparent to simulate stained-glass. This will be a treasure for generations to come.
