Introduction to Stained Glass class will begin October 7th. Now is the time to plan for those special Holiday gifts and decorations! Class dates are October 7, 14, 20 (Lab), 21, and 28. Students completing the course and will be authorized to utilize the tools and equipment in the area.
If you have an idea or desire for a specific class, please contact us at stainedglass@makeict.org
Open Lab on each of the Maker Mondays, September 8th and September 22nd. Feel free to drop in and work on projects, ask questions, check out what is new. For those of you wishing to authorize for use of the area without taking the Introductory class, this is a great time to come in and see if you qualify (there will be a test, so allow sufficient time).
Pattern Library is located on the East wall. Check it out for ideas and information. Many of the patterns will need to be resized for use, if you find something you like, please get with an Instructor or Lead if you require help. Do not remove patterns from the room, or use originals to work from. Make a tracing or copy before use of any pattern.
Reminder: Use only glass from the blue Glass Cart. Glass in the closet and storage areas is there for a reason. If there is something you need from the closet or storage area, it must be coordinated with an Instructor! Large Sheet goods are NOT self-serve.
On the Calendar: Open Labs will be held October 13th and October 27th. Introduction to Stained Glass class begins October 7th. Please keep an eye on the Calendar for changes or additions.

Changes in the Stained Glass Area – Personnel changes: Kayla Drybread is leaving Kansas for a new opportunity out East. She is an excellent instructor and will be missed. Join me in wishing her the very best in life! Thank you for sharing with us all!! Fear not good folks, for we have a new Instructor joining the ranks; Marissa Ray. Marissa will be teaching the October Introduction to Stained Glass class and is excited about joining the team.
More changes in the Stained Glass Area – During the Clean-up Day this past August 16th, relocation of some of the materials and fixtures began. Practice Glass is now located on the bottom shelf below the Tool Kits. Please be sure to maintain a Safety attitude when using this glass. Be neat; be safe. Back by the Glass Cart is the beginning of the Patterns Library! The books and patterns are there to browse for ideas. If you see something you would like, you may trace the pattern (if it is full size), or ask an instructor if they can make a copy for you. This is not a lending library!! The books need to stay in the room, please. Keep checking the Displays for examples and ideas!
