Poll and Glass Painting

Today's class was on glass painting. It was a well-taught and generally interesting one (turns out I *really* like glass painting) with only one drawback... it was in the morning. Of a workday. My teeth were a little gritted when I told the roomful of retired teachers that I'd had to take leave to be there and REALLY would have preferred a night class.
That said, we tried five methods of applying paint to glass (paintbrush, sponge, stencil, marker, tube) and did two projects. After the vase and the pitcher have cured for a couple of days, I heat-set the paint, which is supposed to make it dishwasher and microwave safe.
The only problem with these "make it" classes is that I end up with novice projects I don't know what to do with. Perhaps I should take more cooking classes so I can eat the evidence. Speaking of which, the upcoming semester is a Candyland of options, and since people always like to click polls, here you go:
