The application form (downloadable in the page above) has the information you need to apply for the scholarship. There are many good workshops being offered across the country that teach the skills needed to advance your career in stained glass. You can find information about many workshops in the "FYI: Notes & News" department of The Stained Glass Quarterly. (www.stainedglassquarterly.com) Mary Lou:

I know how to do both leaded panels and the copper foil method. I've done commissions for residential and commercial properties, as well as maintaining a retail shop and teaching a basis Stained Glass Course and Glass Fusing workshops. I have also done some painting on glass... What I am looking for, is a way to further my education in all aspects of Stained Glass, I lack the knowledge and confidence to take on large public installations as far as re-inforcement of the piece. I would also like to get into larger fused glass pieces. Can you tell me how the Scholarship Fund works? Would I be someone who would qualify for this? And, how long are your courses, and would I be a good candidate to learn something? Thanks in advance for the information, Mary Lou I have been employed as a Stained Glass artist for 7 years now.

You would be much better off contacting one of the Accredited Studio Members of the Stained Glass Association of America.

Look in the phone book under Glass: Stained & Leaded and you should be able to find local businesses that offer classes.

Our facility was built in 1959/1960 and there are many stained glass type windows. We have recently noticed that a lot of the lead runs are spliting and leaving gaps that could cause leaks in a rain storm. Is there a manual or classes available to show how to repair these I am a maintenance worker at Sacred Heart Retreat House in Sedalia Co.

It is featured on the front of an old issue of Professional Stained Glass, June 1991. I am making the Odyssey 18" tulip T1596 and the massiveness of the finished product looks too top heavy on a regular base which is just a center pole straight up and down. The one featured on this issue isn't discussed in the book but is most likely a designer piece. Although I would love this one...a similar one would do. I like the way the legs bow out and then taper to the base. Would anyone have knowledge of a shop that has unique or similar type bases?
