One of my favorite museums we went to was the stain glass museum in Krakow. One thing I didn't know was that they made different scissors to make their cutouts. I thought that was really interesting and allowed them to get a more precise cut so they would know exactly how to frame the glass without leaving a huge gap. I also didn't realize how easy it is for them to cut glass. All they really had to do was push down with a little pressure and then it cut a perfect line. I also really liked the hands on activity and being able to soder our own glass together to get an idea of what those artists do for a living.

  1. I totally agree with you. I liked how the scissors made a little slit in the paper which made the design easier to cut out. The activity was so cool and I liked that we got to take our stained glass home with us.

  2. I really enjoyed the stain glass activity as well. I'm not an artsy person but they made that simple enough that I could do it. Everyone still seemed to enjoy it. I wonder how craftspeople connected glass pieces in the past. The soldering we did seemed quite easy, but I doubt they had those nice tools.
