Course description: While often thought of as an Old World concept, craftsmen are alive and well in 21st century America. Learn secrets of the stained glass, painting and stone carving trades from three Chicagoland craftspeople. You will discover the historical roots of their arts, see examples of their works, and understand what skills are needed to complete restorations. Ann Leslie will reveal some of her amazing stained glass. Mario Guertin will discuss the history of paint and explain how one distinguishes between a painter and a Master Craftsman. Kevin Williams will describe the journey through which he became an apprenticed stone carver. You will hear about the little-known systems through which artisans become trained and the basics of business building. Each will show examples of their work and you may even get ideas for your own work and property.
