The Youngest Active Stained Glass Student

Robbie, one of Deborah's children, loves to hang around the studio. For his first project, he made a hummingbird suncatcher. The second project was an artist's palette from an original design. (Yes, that's right, I said ORIGINAL design.)

In the following photos, he is working on his third project.





















He is really catching on quickly. He does all his own cutting and grinding, as well as his own soldering. I am constantly amazed at how enthusiastic he is about his work, and how focused he is on getting it done.

He pays for his materials and lessons by chipping up scrap glass to make "Sookie's Sea Glass". I pay him $0.80 per pound for this. It is not unusual for him to chip up 15 to 20 lb of glass in a day.

Louis Comfort Tiffany better watch out!!
