ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. – \u00a0Tucked into a corner of St. Pete is a colorful world of reflective glass. The Glass of Life studio offers a creative space for beginners and experienced artists.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u00a0Jodi Chemes, founder of Glass of Life, says the studio was made to be a community gathering spot for people who wanted to try a new medium of art.\u00a0<\/p>\n
“For me, the therapy of stained-glass started with no having a blank canvas to start with,” says Chemes. “You can put anything in glass- a picture, a drawing.”<\/p>\n
What we know:<\/p>\n
World of Art employees say every step in creating stained-glass is therapeutic. From cutting the pieces, to grinding the edges and soldering everything together.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The studio hosts multiple workshops a day, ranging from beginner to expert classes.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Beginner classes will walk visitors through the process of gluing a pattern down, cutting the glass, preparing it, and putting the masterpieces all together.\u00a0<\/p>\n
“I originally started Glass of Life to create a safe, comfortable, welcoming community for people to try something new, meet new people and come together as a group to express themselves,” says Chemes. \u00a0<\/p>\n
