Students create logo in glass
Students from Bewdley High School and Sixth Form Centre have
been getting creative at Bewdley Museum. William Wilson, one
of the museum's resident artists, has been helping the youngsters
to create a stained glass panel.
Seven students from Year 10 and 12 took part in the workshop
where they designed and made a stained glass panel emblazoned with
the schools logo. It will be housed in the school.
The students gave the workshop a unanimous verdict of it being
"a very enjoyable day", with one pupil going so far as to call it
"legendary".
Councillor Tracey Onslow, Wyre Forest District Council's Cabinet
Member for Community and Partnership Services said,
"Links between the museum and local schools are always
important, not only from the perspective of helping children to
understand history but also helping to keep craftsmanship skills
alive. The hands-on crafts that the museum offers
really enrich the learning of students and teachers."
Members of the public can try their hand at stained glass
techniques in Mr Wilson's workshop throughout the year.
He also accepts bespoke commissions and repair work. 
For more information visit his studio between 10am and 4pm daily or
