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.

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.
ReplyDeleteI 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.
