Sculpture of Glass

So every year, starting three years ago, high school students from my school and a local artist work together to create a sculpture. For a year the sculpture will sit in front of our public library and when the year is up the it will be moved to a growing sculpture garden at our high school and a new one is installed in front of the library.

This year we are working with glass and metal to create our sculpture. There is a local artist who has an art studio in his garage. He has a few kilns for both glass (I think it is called a kiln for glass...) and clay.

So far we have just been getting used to working with glass. In fact on Sunday I and a couple other students worked together to create a tube of glass that will be cut into beads. On my own I made a paper weight. They both turned out pretty cool!

I will try to keep you posted with updates (and maybe even some pictures) on how this sculpture of glass will turn out.
