Dear Sharon,
Starting March 8th, we will host Guest Artist Leslee
Jagodzinski with our first mini drawing class. Some of you
know Leslee as a stained glass artist, since she worked
here and taught here in the past. She is currently teaching
college level art and drawing classes, and has taught at the
Art Museum on and off for many years.
Taking a short class like this will expose you to a few
concepts that will allow you see the "line" better, and also
help you break complex objects down into simple
shapes. These are skills that will improve your creativity in
the glass arts.
We are very excited to expand our curriculum with a
talented teacher like Leslee, who has a way of making
everyone successful.

Melissa worked hard to put together a grouping of "test

on glass. If you have seen them on the table you know how
beautiful they are. As a fuser, this will add a new dimension
to your glass coloring skills. And don't freak out! We won't
be using a brush to apply your color! You will do two 5"
tile color studies, one on black and one on white. And while
