Around every corner in Glencairn, visitors encounter stunning examples of early 20th-century craftsmanship—in metal, stained glass, mosaic, stone, and wood. Craftsmanship at Glencairn: Five Artists is a guided tour and exhibit that explores the work of five artists who worked at Glencairn, the castle-like home built by Raymond Pitcairn for his family (completed in 1939). Well over one hundred artists, architects, and laborers contributed to its construction and decoration, which took more than a decade to complete. Without the efforts of all of them working together, the Pitcairn’s remarkable home could not have become a reality. 
Pitcairn had previously established a variety of workshops adjacent to the building site of Bryn Athyn Cathedral (dedicated 1919), including an architectural studio, a modeling shop, a metal shop, a stained-glass studio and glassworks, a stone shop, and a wood shop. These same shops—and many of the same artists—were also used to create artwork for Glencairn. This guided tour, which will explore the Great Hall and Upper Hall on the first floor, the main bedroom on the third floor, the Chapel on the fifth floor, and the observation deck at the top of the tower, will introduce visitors to works by Parke E. Edwards (metalwork), Winfred S. Hyatt (stained glass), Robert G. Glenn (mosaic), Benjamin A. Tweedale (stone carving), and Frank Jeck (woodcarving).

In this four-day workshop—held on four consecutive Saturdays—participants will learn the fundamentals of traditional stained-glass painting. Working from a photographic reference, students will create their own painted glass panel using historic techniques such as tracing, matting, and silver staining, with opportunities to add personal creative touches. Finished pieces will be kiln-fired to permanently fuse the paint to the glass, then framed in lead and fitted with hooks for display in a window.
Other notes: 
·This workshop will be held at the Doering Center at Bryn Athyn College. 
·Previous experience with drawing or painting is preferable. 
·Please wear closed-toe shoes. 
·Note that attendees will be looking down at a light table for most of class.
Food and drink cannot be consumed in the stained-glass classroom but can be consumed in the main lobby areas of the Doering Center. Attendees are welcome to bring a snack to enjoy during the break and recommended to bring a water bottle with a tightly fitting lid.
