Topic: Stained Glass Fusing
Explore the art of stained glass in this hands-on adult workshop inspired by Tiffany’s Gardens in Glass! Participants will design and create their own small fused-glass artwork, layering colorful glass and then using black liquid glass to create the illusion of the lead lines found in traditional stained glass. Along the way, discover how stained glass is produced and experiment with traditional techniques, including copper foil wrapping and soldering. Immerse yourself in a behind-the-scenes look at the craftsmanship and processes that bring stained glass to life. No previous glass working experience is required. All supplies are provided.

Instructor: Gail Glagola
Gail is a retired New York State art teacher who loves to weave and paint and who has extensive stained glass making experience. Recent paintings have been shown at the Johnson-Humrickhouse Museum in Coshocton, John McIntire Library, and The Works in Newark, Oh. Her weavings were the subject of a one-artist show at the John McIntire Library in Zanesville. Teaching remains a favorite and Gail sought out classes at the Zanesville Museum of Art to keep connecting with students young and “experienced”. After several years the museum asked her to join them as the Educational Assistant and a member of the newest Docent class.
