7th Grade students will be working with metal and glass this fall into spring. Over the coming months students will be given lessons to increase their skills in working with metal and glass, cumulating into projects such as jewelry, slumped glass bowls, and stained glass windows.
Today students were shown a demonstration of how to make two different wire bracelets. Both designs required patient metal manipulation, done by hand, and following step-by-step instructions. This year's 7th grade projects will require attention to detail, patience for process steps, and safety when handling tools. These skills will be the underlying focus of each weeks activities as we prepare for our bigger stained glass project this winter.
