Beam Camp
I will be joining and representing Beam Camp, which is a sleep away summer camp for children aged 9-17. We specialize in building large-scale installations which teach our campers about woodworking, metalworking, other forms of fabrication and art making. Beam Camp has guided 2500+ campers to cultivate hands-on skills while exploring innovative thinking, design, and the creative process. Each session campers and staff build a spectacular large-scale collaborative project chosen through a worldwide design competition. We also invite campers to design and build their own independent projects.

Stained Glass has always been interesting to me because it's so beautiful and has an incredible history around the world. It has also felt like something that is inaccessible without proper training, but it is actually quite approachable! I am looking to open up the possibility for others to try their hand at creating with stained glass and see how accessible it can be.
