Art Project #35: Stained Glass Class

Alec has been working on making a stained glass dragonfly for a few weeks now.  We have a neighbor who does such beautiful stained glass work and she offered to teach Alec and allow him to do a project with her.  How convenient that he's learning a new art in the midst of our 100 Days of Art Challenge.

He was beyond excited!

We watched a video on YouTube about soldering and I reminded Alec of our glass fusion class that we took.  We had scored and cut glass for that glass; which was a technique he was going to need for his project.

He has been working with her here and there over the past month and came home with lovely dragonfly plant stake.

He has now moved onto making a Pokeball and we're looking into buying some of our own supplies to continue working on our own.  I have always wanted to learn stained glass and thought this might be the perfect opportunity for me to learn too.

I know this post is vastly different from the rest since I have NO guidance or even many pictures; I only hear second hand about what he is doing and learning but Alec is so proud of everything he is learning and making for me not to share.
