Our Second Night Class
Things went great tonight with our three students: Jane, Amanda, and Christine.
Jane found a great pattern of a seagull in flight that she’s decided to work on. It’s hard to believe this is her first large window when you watched her work tonight. Her cutting was flawless and you can see this in the picture we have below. The bird has been cut out and is lying on the pattern waiting to be ground. You might think that she’s already ground it to get it to fit so perfectly, but she hasn’t. All she did was take her time and cut on the inside of the line she traced onto her glass. The bird is colored in 2 different but similar glasses– a pure white and a combination white/blue. It looks great.
Amanda came in last week to see about having a window made and ended up coming in this week with her sister Christine for classes. Her butterfly is finished and this is what it looks like. She has a design in mind for her next window and we’ll try to have it drawn out for her before she gets here for her second class next week. Good work tonight, Amanda!
Christine took to the glass cutting as easily as her sister did. She loved the iridescent glass when she saw it and cut it without a single problem. She also knows what she plans on making next week so expect to see the start of 2 new windows here next Tuesday evening.
Everyone did a wonderful job tonight and it was nice to have the place somewhat full rather than practically empty as it was last week. Our night class is starting to fill up so now’s the time to call about getting in on them. Look for another post tomorrow evening to show what’s happening on our afternoon class…
