CRN: 75826
CLASSROOM WORKSHOP (NOME): Explore the art of stained glass by designing and creating your own ornaments. We will be using the technique of copper foiling. Learn the basics of creating stained glass from start to finish. Students will cut and solder glass pieces together to create ornaments just in time for the holidays. Prior experience is preferred but not necessary.
Molly Naaktgeboren was taught by her father when she was a teenager, and she has been
doing copper foil stained glass for 14 years. Recently, Molly has branched out into learning other techniques like
fusing, beadworking, and torch work.
Dual credit courses:
The dual credit process allows secondary school students to register for UAF classes and concurrently earn high school and college credit, if approved. Any high school student meeting course prerequisites may enroll in university classes. Students must consult their appropriate school district officials and school counselors for approval prior to registration if they wish to use university courses to meet high school graduation requirements. Northwest Campus has direct partnership with the Northwestern Alaska Career and Technical Center (), the Bering Strait School District (), and Nome Public Schools ().
