They were given sheets of colored glass and some basic supplies. Over the course of two or three weeks, 85 seniors at Collins Career Center fused their imaginations and their knowledge of math with those sheets of glass and fashioned works of art.
Tuesday, those works of art will be auctioned off to aid cancer research during the school’s second annual stained glass auction.
Brian Johnston fashioned his glass into a turquoise Tucker automobile after prompting from math teacher Amy Brown.
“It was her favorite car and she asked me to do it,” he explained. “She was born the same year (auto maker) Preston Tucker died and she thought he was cool.”
While the classic car may be cool, making it was rough work, he said. It took Johnston two hours a day or two or three weeks to assemble the tiny pieces.
I've checked the school's website (
