About

Bainbridge glass artist Gregg Mesmer from Mesolini Glass Studio guides you step by step through the process of building a stained-glass window measuring about 20 inches by 20 inches. Learn contemporary, innovative, and efficient methods to create this art piece, methods he has honed over his 40 years as a glass artist. You can expand your glass-cutting skills, get tips from a pro, and learn where to order your glass to get BARN's 20% discount.

Students also learn studio safety and protocol, which is required to use the Glass Studio during open studio times.

Details

  • Allow for time outside of class to work on your project. 
  • Keep in mind that missing any sessions could affect your ability to complete your project by the time the class concludes.
  • NOTE:  In order to use open studio time for your own projects, you must demonstrate competency in glass cutting and grinder use. This course will address those competencies.

Details

A $78 materials fee included in the class price covers glass, drafting paper, pattern film, zinc and lead, and miscellaneous other supplies. Students are encouraged to use glass from the glass studio. However, you can buy or bring your own.
