HANDS-ON CRAFTS FOR STUDENTS Paper, Pottery and Glass
This intense hands-on experience is highly praised by teachers. Classes are available to elementary and secondary students. Students work with staff artists. Preparation materials are sent to teachers prior to their visit so that this short-term experience can be put into a context of learning about the history and process of the craft arts.
STUDENT DOCENT TOURS
Grade level, curriculum related tours of the Museum of American Glass for elementary classes, grades 4 to 12. Communication with the museum staff gives a teacher the option of relating the tour to specific curriculum involving a specific time period of study, as well as art and New Jersey history.
