So I've been taking a stained glass class from a very talented artist. She's also a very patient with students, otherwise she would have kicked me out the first night.
This is a class where I learned to use a sharp instrument to cut glass, a whirring grinding wheel to smooth the edges, a hot soldering iron that made lead and nickel melt whereever I let it drip and pliers, lots of different one.
And, I walked back and forth to the sessions with a bag of glass over my arm, only once slipping and falling on a thin sheet of ice, probably the only one left in town. The glass and I survived with no cracks or breaks.
This is a costly habit/hobby/art which I'm not likely to pursue rabidly. But it might be fun to use up the glass, solder, tungsten frame and sticky foil I bought,
Anyway, here's the sunrise I made.
