Instructor: Dayna Sabatino
Dayna studied stained glass in the Bay Area of California, where she worked in all aspects of the industry. Building artworks one beautiful piece of glass at a time was a natural fit for her. Over her years there she taught courses in many techniques of stained glass and mosaic art, built commissioned works on her own and for other artists, and performed restorations, from small lampshades to large church windows. After returning to the East Coast, she landed in Vermont, where she met her husband and became a mother. Currently, when not busy working on their homestead, Dayna is creating one-of-a-kind works of glass art, taking commissions, and teaching workshops around New England.
