Michelle has been working on the layout for the text on the Ten Commandments Window. The text needs to be laid out one letter at a time onto tracing paper, then transferred to the resist-covered pieces of glass. After the lettering has been cut into the resist, using an xacto knife, the pieces are painted with the fire-on enamel, the remaining resist is removed and then the pieces are put into the kiln and fired to an exact temperature for permanence.
