A tactile exercise in teamwork!

Art making is a tactile, joyful, and soothing activity for my students-a necessary part of the school day. This summer I will be apprenticing w/two professional sculptors in Spain & Italy to learn new skills to bring back to the classroom. Thank you ًFund for Teachers!
