Andrew Haraburda ’19, Shaina Belford ‘19, and Maika Danford ‘20 demonstrate how to apply a variety of glazing techniques using designer liner, low fire, and stoneware glazes. Students in this course investigate the transformative properties of clay and apply a wide range of glazes to their work, developing their own voice with this tactile material. A display of finished pieces from this year’s course will be in display as well. Directed by Upper School Visual Art Teacher Jaime Bennati.

Live Art - Stained GlassAlumni CommonsGlass artists Megan Johnson ‘19 and Chloe Tussing ‘19 demonstrate how to cut cold glass for a stained glass window.

Come learn about their designs and see the artists in action. Directed by Upper School Visual Art Teacher Jaime Bennati.
