I would be remiss if I didn’t post this:
We are less than a week away and I’ve been mentioning this, but a post devoted to it was needed. The above image is linked to the site for more information. You can also find the same on my “Events” page. We (Threads group) are thrilled to pieces about this, also honored and deeply touched as it also celebrates Cheryl Harrison who was a part of our group. Hope you can join us!
I was, really, head over heels, lovin’ the results of my last ‘assignment’ for these kids. The kids really rose to it. I had my doubts about giving it, but they took off and made the sweetest little yokai fabric books.
This was probably the quietest class I’ve taught at Artspace. Usually they’re more active, but it must have been the early hours in the first week after school. I have to hand it to them.
It is, just about…tomorrow in fact…at Artspace. Youth classes begin and also another summer. Wa Osoroshii! It’s Scary! takes place next week – a mixed media class for rising 3rd to 5th graders. It’s a full class – 12 students (energetic, I’m sure!) – that started with 6 then quickly filled over this last week.
Practice and walking through what they’ll be doing helps me to warm up and keep things fresh. New ideas come to play during a time like that. I look forward to seeing what the kids come up with.
