Jody Sheppard- Dancers try to express meaning through the patterns of dance. In "The Dance of Life" Ms. Sheppard tries to express the language of dance through her patterns for stained glass. Although a dance disappears when it is finished, some performances are so memorable that the dancer and the interpretation is never forgotten. Ms. Sheppard tries to capture these moments in her 19 evocative glass panels. Crafters will have fun recreating the ballet, the waltz, the cha cha, a pas de deux or scenes from a dance class, as well as many other historical and contemporary dance styles from around the globe.
