The Remann Hall project was done as a part of the education department program at the Museum of Glass in partnership with Pierce County Juvenile Court when I was there. It was an incredible project, which culminated in an outdoor installation at the museum and many of the participants coming to volunteer and participate in education programs at the museum after they were released. It was one of the many incredible programs I was lucky enough to be part of there. A book of poetry, artwork (and I think some of the photos in that link) was produced as well. The whole program was a great model for how arts organizations can do meaningful outreach in their communities. Unfortunately, the program was cut one year before the planned completion, due to budget concerns :[ I wonder why the Museum and the program was not mentioned in that post, because those are the images I remember seeing come out as part of the program. I guess the brief mention of "related workshops" are the reference?
