NOTES ON TEACHING, mentoring & other new beginnings.

March 10th, 2009

This spring is loaded with NEWness. New studio, new storefront, new art classes in my new studio, New wholesale customers.  All new, yet based on a lifetime of learning. Today is my very first Art Class in my New Studio. There may or may not be any students  - but it marks my first class. I have thought there is a teacher for every student. I myself never felt as if I had a real mentor. It is something I had missed. I don’t know why that is. I was recently asked to be a mentor to a young women I have know for her whole life. As I realized what that meant, I also realized I had never had one. So, my hopes for these classes, include the sense that I can be a mentor.   Creating a curriculum based on experience coupled with intuition, I think the path is set. I really hope someone comes to my class today, but if not today, then I hope those who are thinking about coming, know that I will be upstairs in my studio every Tuesday from 3:30 pm to 6, and every Saturday from 9:30 am ’til noon.  And at the end of each class, you do not need to run out..  You can stay and work for a while.
