Spider webs and Pumpkins- A Pop-Up Stained Glass Workshop!

Come  make a cute little stained glass pumpkin or a spider web to celebrate the beautiful season and the chill in the air. We have prepped the projects so we can complete these little projects in an evening. Be prepared to cut glass, grind, copper foil and solder. Leave with a finished piece!

This class is for adults 18+due to the use of lead and soldering chemicals.

We will be using lead/tin solder for our projects. We have eye  protection, gloves, and a well ventilated workshop. Please do not  register if pregnant or breastfeeding due to potential lead exposure  from soldering.

Instructor: This class is instructed by Dayna, owner and teaching artist at Day Breaks Glass Studio

​Dayna  Sabatino is a Stained Glass and Mosaic artist with over two decades of  experience in the craft. Trained by the skilled artisans at The Stained  Glass Garden in Berkeley, California, Dayna spent the next ten years in  the Bay Area: teaching courses and building commissioned works with  Sabina Frank Designs; performing restoration work with Starbow Studios;  and working at The Institute of Mosaic Art in Oakland with the globally  renowned mosaic artist, Laurel True.

​

After  returning to the East Coast, Dayna settled in Vermont. She married,  became a mother, and began teaching stained glass and mosaic techniques  at art centers throughout New England. While teaching, Dayna sensed that  the practice of art and traditional handcrafts nourished a longing in  people for creative expression and cultural connection. It became her  goal to open a studio where she could work and teach, and plant the  seeds for nurturing a vibrant, inclusive, creative community.

​

In  2022, Dayna opened Day Breaks Glass Teaching Studio in downtown Bethel,  Vermont. Today, it has grown into a unique maker space, offering a  variety of workshops and creative experiences for all. Students come  from all over Vermont for classes in applied arts and handicrafts,  taught in a warm and inclusive atmosphere by experienced artist  instructors.

Day  Breaks Glass Teaching Studio is a grateful recipient of grants from The  Vermont Arts Council, and a proud member of The Vermont Crafts Council  and The Stained Glass Association of America.
