Last year I arranged for a stained glass artist to come and talk to the year 9 students when they were making their paper window designs. She was great at speaking to the class. Bea had brought in lots of glass samples, cutting tools and finished pieces to talk about. They students were able to have a go at cutting the glass themselves - which they loved.
Bea Bennett is one of the parents at our school and she also runs fantastic workshops for anyone who is interested. I have recently made a couple of stained glass designs, and loved every minute of it!
