Education Through Renovation: Stained Glass Restoration

Education Through Renovation (www.educationthroughrenovation.com)provides building industry and art restoration apprentices with the opportunity to renovate and restore historic properties in such a way so these locations would serve as classrooms outside the classroom.

Affiliate mebers of the program include the conservation program at the University of Delaware, headed-up by Prof. Richard Wolbers and Tom Venturella, of Venturella Studios, a local art studio which specializes in restoring stained glass from medieval Europe and 20th Century America.

The plan is for these programs to come to Holy Innocents and restore both the murals and the stained glass at the church while providing students with valuable apprentice work, says Dr. Al Cresci, President of the Education Through Renovation program.

Cresci adds that partnerships such as these will not only preserve America's historic treasures, but also provide our citizens with the vocational training and educational classes that will greatly influence the success of our communities.
