September was so much fun for me. I finished another month long residency in Midd West again, for the sixth time. Each kid got to make at least one tile and we had somewhere around 150 kids. This was my five advanced kids and I have had the honor of working with each of them before. As you'd guess, they produced amazing tiles.
Kids were allowed to work in white or grey, some tiles with a combination of white and grey. Some of these are so impressive especially considering the majority of the participants never worked with glass before. We assembled all the tiles to make clouds. The sky was made with a glorious mottled blue Youghiogheny, probably my favorite glass. They already have it hung in the grade school that it was gifted to. I want to get in there to take a good photo of it eventually. Till then, they sent these.
If you're on Insta, I put a video on there that shows the iridescent in the sun a little better. Life is so good. Thanks Pennsylvania Council on the Arts for funding projects like this.
