SNOOP! Around Town!
go behind the scenes

Shhhh! This Saturday, January 12 Cleveland Restoration Society members will SNOOP! once again! This time we go behind the scenes at Whitney Stained Glass Studio for a very special demonstration as master artisans restore a late Victorian stained glass skylight. The completed work, commissioned by George Lucas of Star Wars fame, will be used as part of the ceiling at one of the seven screening theatres at Skywalker Ranch in Nicasio, California, the birthplace of the Star Wars films. SNOOPers will rotate to several stations to view different stages of this special restoration project and learn about basic techniques of the stained glass craft. Don't miss this special members-only opportunity to enter a live, working studio.

The guided tour and demonstrations will begin promptly at 10:00 a.m. this Saturday, January 12, at Whitney Stained Glass Studio, 2530 Superior Avenue East in Cleveland. Parking is available at the rear of the building. Please access the building via stairs in the loading dock area and wait to be escorted to the studio by our hosts, who will operate the freight elevators.

This SNOOP! is free for Cleveland Restoration Society members. RSVP to Erin Dorsey. Not a member? Take advantage of a special $15 introductory membership rate to join the Cleveland Restoration Society and then you, too, can SNOOP!

Make plans now to attend the next SNOOP! tour at 10:00 a.m. on February 23 at the Variety Theater on Lorain Avenue in Cleveland.
