Students will learn how to use crushed glass to create a faux stained glass technique on a gourd.  This technique can be adapted to many patterns, and we will discuss the types of design that will work best.  We will be using five colors of crushed glass and completing the rose and butterfly design in this class.

Prepared gourd:  cut, cleaned inside and out, painted and sealed interior, hole cut for clip-in light, and the

design applied and cut out, ready for glass application

Crushed Glass (red, green, yellow, orange, dark blue)

Glue plus needle tip applicator bottle

Clip-in light kit

Miscellaneous:  toothpicks, paper plates, bowls, tape, water containers, box or tray to work in, etc.
