Instructor Bio:
Instructor Sarah Jones is a BARN founding member, jewelry studio programming, and steering committee member. She is a local Bainbridge Island artist, and teacher with experience in fine metal arts, jewelry, ceramics, sculpture, stained glass, and photography. Because Sarah is a visual and tactile learner herself, her classes typically involve a lot of hands-on learning time. In addition, Sarah’s classes are accompanied by printed information and resources for her students to refer back to when practicing their new skills. Sarah’s art has been displayed in the Seattle Metals Guild exhibitions and Bainbridge Arts & Craft exhibitions. You can view her recent work on Instagram at: @sarahjonesjewelry and @foggyroaddesigns
Stained glass is fun and easier than you thought. This is a beginning-level class to introduce you to the processes of stained glass. In the 3 hours, you will learn the basics of glass safety, tools of the trade, glass cutting, and project assembly using the copper foil technique. You can choose one of 3 projects to build, all doable in the time we have in the studio. Come on in and surprise yourself. Register a youth or friend to attend with you!
