Stained Glass: a Study of
Mosaics
Join Mary Lemen
stained glass artist and owner of The Glass Loft for a new class in the art of
Mosaics. Mosaics is the art of decoration with small
pieces of colored glass, stone or other material. In this new class, instructor
Mary Lemen will teach both the direct and indirect
Mosaics methods. The direct method of mosaic construction involves directly
placing the individual pieces onto the supporting surface. The construction of
a serving tray will be the direct method project for the first three sessions.
In this process glass is will be cut, placed and grouted to create a mosaic
serving tray. The next three weeks will focus on the indirect method. In the
indirect Mosaic method pieces are applied face-down to a backing paper using an
adhesive, and transferred to the project. The indirect project will be a glass
brick in which the glass is cut, placed into a mold then cemented. With the knowledge
of these methods you can create table tops, stepping stones, and floor or wall
mosaics. The possibilities are endless. The materials fee includes all
materials to complete both projects and use of tools. You will need to provide
a dust mask, rubber or latex gloves, and safety glasses. Please bring these

National Cathedral: Summer
Tour and Tea
Welcome in the glorious summer
season with a delightful visit to the National Cathedral for a Tea and Tour. We
will begin our day with a docent led tour of the beautiful Cathedral gardens.
Designed by Frederick Law Olmstead, Jr., the Cathedral gardens serve as home to
countless perennials, herbs and native plants. We will then venture into the
Cathedral to listen to an organ demonstration on the Great Organ of Washington
National Cathedral which was built by the Ernest M. Skinner & Son Organ
Company and installed in 1938. This is a wonderful opportunity to hear the
organ at it’s best! Our Tour and Tea will begin with a
“Healing Arts” tour of the National Cathedral. Throughout the Cathedral, people
practicing the healing arts are depicted in needlework, bronze, stained glass,
and carved stone. From Jesus performing miracles to Florence
Nightingale’s transformation of the nursing profession. We will explore
the fascinating stories told in these varied works of art. Our tour will be
followed by a 3:00pm tea served in the St. Paul Room of the pilgrim
Observations Gallery. This is a beautiful wood paneled room with great views of
the city. Tea fare includes a delicious array of scones with clotted cream and
jam and an assortment of sweets and finger sandwiches-and all the tea you wish!
Following our lovely tea is an opportunity to explore the cathedral book store,
and gift shops. Please join us for this wonderful visit to the National
Cathedral. Fee includes: fully equipped motor coach transportation/gratuity,
all entrance fees, “Healing Arts” and Garden tour and tea. Departure
from the Valley Mall. A complete itinerary and departure point map will
be sent to you one week prior to the tour date. Class Limit: 42
