With two days of Viking chest class complete at ESSA (essa-art.org), students have their chests assembled, sanded and stained while they work for two days with Dale Custer in the forging studio to make the hardware consisting of hinges, hasp and handles.
Students have learned a lot and done great work. On Saturday I'll be at studio stroll to discuss the project, and do a quick demonstration. On Sunday I'll be with the class to finish up.
Make, fix and create...
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.
