Seventh and Eighth Grade `Bodacious Bowls
Of Baubles'
Our students are fortunate to have their own glass
blowing studio on campus, and these middle school
artists don't disappoint in their first experience with
this amazing art form. This year the blown glass
pieces are sold as one exquisite set ­ three vivid
green blown glass bowls filled with the students'
individual works of hot glass art baubles in
eye-popping colors and a variety of shapes and
sizes. Talent, creativity and responsibility are all
showcased here in a way that truly celebrates
Prairie's focus on the arts.

Upper School `Glass Bowl Of Fire'
Prairie's upper school glass artists created
blown-glass "flames" that burst out of a boldly
colored, student-crafted blue glass bowl. If
education is "the lighting of a fire" (William Butler
Yeats), then these fiery students have excelled in
their Prairie School studies!

`Upper School Of Fish' Hand-Painted Montage
This framed art piece will command a place of honor
in your home. Upper school artists created beautiful
fish paintings on individual gallery-wrapped canvas
blocks. Each artist demonstrates his or her personal
flair through the choice of a favorite fish and the use
of custom-blended paint colors. The collection of
these paintings creates an impressive dimensional
montage to enliven your space.
