KIM S JOY STAINED GLASS AND JEWE​LRY

Blogging with glass

March Madness? Or just overly busy?

3/5/2016

​Five days in March and we have seen a high of 65 degrees and low of 27 degrees. Crazy weather. We have 70% chance of snow tonight! If it happens it will be a waste for the kids as tomorrow is not a school day. I love snow days, getting to stay home and do something cool makes me happy.

I just finished up Art Club at Loch Lomond Elementary School in Manassas. There were two sessions, fall with 5th graders and February session with 4th graders. Day 1 was touching on the history, tools, types of glass and learning how to cut glass. Day 2 was grinding and copper foiling. Day 3 was soldering and clean up. Day 4 was cutting a piece that will be included in the panel that will hang in the school office. Below are the 4th grade pieces. Go Scotties!
What's up for the next few weeks? A box class with a frame on it for cards, postcards and other keepsakes. Prepping pieces and photos for jury. Pieces for a show in April, due mid March. Spring Break Jewelry Camp at the Workhouse Arts Center. Finishing up stained glass classes at the Workhouse Arts Center and Fairfax Parks & Rec. Jewelry Basics class at The Center for the Arts. I am getting tired just writing this list! But in reality I love teaching and sharing my art with others.
What are some of your plans for March? What projects are on your workbench? Leave a comment with a photo to share what you are up to.

Wishing you an artful month.

Thank you for your support Nancy! I love my work and teaching, and I am taking time for myself though my work, an added bonus.
