A resident of West Chester, Pennsylvania, Hayley Ninnis earned a master of arts in leadership development from Pennsylvania State University. Outside of her professional pursuits, Hayley Ninnis pursues hobbies that include yoga, gardening, hula hooping, and baking. She has recently taken an avid interest in creating stained glass art.
Creating windows and art objects from colored glass requires cutting glass into precise shapes with a glass cutter. Artists can choose from various tools, a simple hand-held pencil style or pistol grip cutter, or even a band saw. These tools can make difficult cuts simply and accurately, saving time and avoiding breakage. Without precise cutting, the finished stained glass piece will look less polished. Before cutting into the glass, artists use the mini-wheel portion of the cutter to “score” the glass. This prevents breaking and gives them a clear idea of where they will cut. To lubricate the glass during cutting, most artists also apply glass cutting oil to help the glass break correctly along scored lines.

However, his medals were stripped away after the International Olympic Committee learned that he played semi-professional baseball, a disqualifier from competition as he was not an amateur athlete. At the above exhibition, people can learn more about Jim Thorpe’s life and achievements, in addition to news about people who petition for restoring Jim’s Olympic medals. |
