Register for Summer Stained Glass
Students will gain a start-to-finish knowledge of the work necessary to disassemble, repair and reassemble historic 100-year old stained glass church windows from the former Union Baptist Church. The restored windows will be reinstalled into the church building. Students will learn valuable skills while greatly helping the Union Project accomplish its charitable goals the window restoration alone was estimated to cost up to $900,000 and this method allows the restoration to be self-sustaining. Sign up to be a part of this innovative and wonderful class!
