Federal Way and Thomas Jefferson High School students were among the special honorees for a reception at the Museum of Glass on April 26.
The event was a celebration of the young artists who participated in the 10th year of the museum’s Kids Design Glass Too program. Some were youngsters 12 and under whose whimsical drawings were selected for development into a real glass sculpture by the MOG Hot Shop Team.
Others — such as the Thomas Jefferson and Federal Way High School teams — created dioramas to display the hot shop creations. Of the five high school student-created dioramas, two came from the Federal Way Public Schools.
“Museum of Glass exists to serve the public through educational and creative experiences, and Kids Design Glass has been an intrinsic part of this mission for the past 10 years,” said Susan Warner, executive director of the Museum of Glass.
The Hot Shop Team picks one drawing per month to develop into a glass sculpture.
The public can view Kids Design Glass Too creations, along with other exhibits (Chihuly Drawings, Patra Passage and Joesph Rossano: Vanity) through July 12.
Federal Way High School’s diorama creations from last year are on display at the Federal Way Public Schools administration building, outside of the board room, at 33330 Eighth Ave. S., Federal Way.
