Artists Bio:
Jennie Stephens is a Teaching Artist who lives and works in Pittsburgh. She has a Bachelors in Studio Art (Painting and Printmaking) and Art History, and a Masters in Archival, Museum, and Editing Studies. Jennie has been teaching in the Carnegie Museums of Pittsburgh for the past 9 years, as well as the last year and a half with Gateway to the Arts.
Though Jennie still paints, creates fiber art and mosaics, she was bitten by the glass bug while attending a workshop at the Pittsburgh Glass Center and has never looked back! It was less than a year before Jennie bought her own kiln, and turned her fascination with glass into something more!

woo hoo!!

this was SUCH a fun class. one that i highly recommend to everyone.

Is this where I pre-register? Sign me up! This class sounds awesome and it is really close to my house. I am excited for this!

you can send an email to pghcraftcollective@gmail.com to register.

Just a little update and additional info on the class! We still have some spots in the class open, so if anyone is interested, send an e-mail us here at the PCC and pre-register!

Also, anyone who is already registered should bring a small container (tupperware-type or shoebox) to the workshop, labeled with your name, to transport your finished pieces of glass.

See you then!
Jennie

Looks like the class is officially filled! I will post if any spots open between now and the workshop on the 4th!

Hi all- just a reminder to bring a small container to transport your glass to and from the class tomorrow. I will have a couple of extra, but it is very helpful for me to keep the pieces seperate!

Looking forward to seeing everyone at Dozen to get our glass on!

Emily - that sounds great - I'll probably forget to check in here too often... How do I sign up for the newsletter? Thanks!

Thank you for the directions! I posted in the wrong place........

Unfortunately, I will not be able to attend. One of my kids came home sick today.

A last minute opportunity for anyone who can take it! I hope it gets filled.
Hope to make the next one.

Thanks to everyone who attended! I had a blast tonight, and look forward to doing this again sometime in the near future! I already have the kiln fired-up with the first batch!!! I love waking up to a kiln full of fired glass!
I will get in touch with everyone individually as your glass is ready, and we plan our rendevous.

Great to meet everyone, and thanks again!
