Spring-Ford Intermediate School Puts Finishing Touches on Fused Glass Art Project.

The following was sent in to Patch by Robyn Burckhardt, representing Arts Alive!:

Art students from Mrs. [Cheryl] Kramer’s art classes [at ], along with professional artist, Jessica Gorlin Liddell have been working with glass in a very creative fashion. They are creating colorful tiles of glass. Once fired in a kiln the glass fuses together and will be arranged and hung as a permanent collection work. The brightly designed panels will be installed to offer maximum visibility by students, parents and the community.

The students have been guided by a professional Philadelphia-based mosaic artist Jessica Gorlin Liddell. This project will reflect the students’ knowledge of color, shape, line and design.

The project is supported by Mrs Kramer, Principal Ed Smith and The Home and School Association.

The project is slated for completion mid-November.

The Artist in Residency is coordinated by Art’s Alive! a program that brings professional artists together with students and communities to produce permanent works of art. Robyn Burckhardt, coordinator is available through Robyn_Burckhardt@yahoo.com . Artists for multi media projects are available for communities, businesses and schools in the area.
