The Stained Glass program gives GMS girls a unique opportunity express their creativity while also developing skills using challenging tools and materials. Students explore all aspects of the art of Stained Glass, from concept to design to construction of the finished glasswork. For their first project, they create a free-form design, learning some of the basics of working with and cutting glass as well as methods of applying copper foil and soldering the separate parts together. Next, they apply those skills to the creation of their own mirror with a stained glass frame. Other projects include sun-catchers created from their own imaginative designs and stained glass jewelry boxes. New projects are introduced each year as the girls develop more advanced skills.  Students not only achieve of mastery of the skills needed to construct their designs in glass but also get to enjoy the elegant beauty of the objects they create.
