I've been invited to participate in an Artist-in Residence program tomorrow at the middle school of a neighboring town. During the 4 hour period I'm to demonstrate my craft to the children and answer questions. I've decided to put together a new cane. I haven't done a cane in a while and this is the perfect driver. The season for sun is upon us and that has determined my subject. My plan is to do a lot of the heavy lifting today - creating the "puzzle pieces". I'll assemble it in front of the kids in the morning. For a hands on touch I'm hoping they can crank a few turns with pasta machine to create my black border. By the end of the session I'll create some beads and a light switch plate to give the children an idea of how the cane can be utilized. Wish me luck!
Lots'a luck and post pics! I'd LOVE to see their faces as you show them how this works (not to mention *I'M* still learning how this works!)
