MONDAY
K-12 Clay
Sara Truman and her Intersections Think Tank got together at Arrowmont over the summer and created a series of teacher interviews that are designed to inspire and educate existing and future K-12 Art Educators. The Think Tank members all have their MFA, teach in the K-12 and maintain an extremely active ceramics career. Highlights include Julia Galloway's keynote lecture from the event, and interviews from each of the participants!
The group worked with Julia to create a new page of K-12 resources in her Field Guide for Ceramic Artisans, as well as caught up with Bill Griffith so he could highlight just how Arrowmont is all in on supporting K-12 educators!
