Stained Glass Design from Children's Art






It was my pleasure to create a panel for the Mettawee Community School, West Pawlet, Vermont  and to honor the founding principal, Nancy Marks.

The entire project was done from start to finish through e-mail communication. Design proposals were edited and sent for approval without the customer coming to my studio until it was finished.







This is 5th grader Lexa's full size watercolor painting:



For further reference I was given a photograph of Haystack Mountain as seen from the school:



This is the design I proposal I sent by e-mail. :



The writing and some details were painted with vitreous glass and permanently kiln fired before assembly.


Above is the finished stained glass window.
