In this 3 hour stained glass workshop you will learn to cut glass pieces and solder them together creating a flower or leafy branch on a wire. You will make 2 simple stems. Great introduction to Stained glass or addition to your soldering skills.

We will have a lunch break. 

LEAD SAFETY WARNING: The stained glass  process includes the use of lead soldering so we ask  that you not  register if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Our studio  space offers a  well ventilated space as well as gloves and goggles for  all students.

GLASS SAFETY WARNING:

Glass  is sharp and should be used with caution and responsible  behavior.  Students may cut glass in class only after training by their  instructor  and must follow all safety protocols in the studio.

PLEASE wear closed-Toed Shoes when working in the studio

Instructor: Dayna Sabatino

Dayna  studied stained glass in the Bay Area of California initially  at The  Stained Glass Garden in Berkeley, where she worked under many  talented  and established glass artists at the top of their field. Dayna  spent 10  years in Oakland and Berkeley eventually teaching courses in  glass art,  building commissioned works for Artist Sabina Frank, and  performing  restoration work with Starbow Studios, from small lampshades  to large  church windows. Dayna was the studio manager at The   Institute of Mosaic Art in Oakland, that was then owned and directed by   globally known mosaic artist, Laurel True.

After  returning to the East Coast (glass tools in tow), Dayna landed  in  Vermont, married and became a mother. Currently, her family is  living on  their land in their handmade, off grid home. Dayna has taught  stained  glass and mosaic technique at art centers throughout New  England,  including The White River Craft Center in Randolph, VT.,  Artascope  Studios in Yarmouth, ME., ArtisTree Community Arts Center in  South  Pomfret, VT. and RiverArts in Morrisville, VT. Dayna has  collaborated with  The Arts Bus.

In 2022, Dayna opened Day Breaks Glass Studio in Bethel, VT, a studio, gallery and supply shop.
