MBS Students Create Stained Glass Artwork for Head of School Liz Morrison

MBS students recently revealed a stunning stained glass masterpiece, a heartfelt creation designed for Head of School Liz Morrison. Now proudly displayed in her office window, the vibrant artwork is a testament to the creativity and dedication of students Benjamin Bodack '27, Paige Flaherty '26, Kendall Hersch '27, Major Karp '27, Gabe Nussbaum '25, and Maya Weinmann '28. From concept to completion, the group worked seamlessly to transform an ambitious idea into an extraordinary work of art. The intricate process involved custom cut and ground glass, with each student contributing through drawing, foiling, and assembling the final design.

The project began in late October, sparked by Ms. Morrison’s conversation with Art and Design teacher Jeanine Erickson. What started as a simple idea quickly grew into a full-scale creative endeavor. Fueled by enthusiasm, the students embraced the challenge, putting their skills and imaginations to the test. With their dedication and teamwork, the result was nothing short of spectacular.

“This project was a true success in every sense of the word,” Mrs. Erickson shared. “These students came to the table with creative ideas, cooperative attitudes, and an excellent work ethic. I couldn’t be more proud of what they have accomplished.

”When the final piece was unveiled, Ms. Morrison was blown away. The stained glass wasn’t just a beautiful work of art—it was a powerful symbol of the students’ collaboration and ingenuity. “I wanted the piece to reflect their own creativity, and I didn’t want to script it,” Ms. Morrison explained. “The final product is their design, and it is stunning. I loved their collaboration, and it will hang in my office as a daily reminder of how creative, talented, and collaborative our students are.”

This dazzling creation now serves as more than just a decorative element; it’s a celebration of the vibrant spirit and artistic excellence that thrives at MBS, forever etched in glass by the hands of its talented students.
