Erwin had assigned specific projects that Sandhya has been applying a number of different techniques to broaden her knowledge of the manipulating the medium.

Sandhya exhibited her works to the Washington Glass School on Friday for a full studio critique, where all the artists commented on both their interpretation of the skills shown and her narrative presentation.
