This blog is dedicated to sharing the concept that our hands are essential to learning- that we engage the world and its wonders, sensing and creating primarily through the agency of our hands. We abandon our children to education in boredom and intellectual escapism by failing to engage their hands in learning and making.

You can see from my newly made weather vane hat shown above, that I am preparing to embarrass myself in public. Each year, as a benefit or the Eureka Springs School of the Arts, ESSA, we host a "party with a purpose," the Mad Hatter's Ball. As a shy guy, I would normally try to avoid such things, but anything for the arts. My job at the start will be to give directions to guests as they arrive, and maybe the hat will help. The Mad Hatter's Ball is held in the Crystal Dining room at our historic Crescent Hotel. It will raise many thousands of dollars for the art school.
