My 2D Design class collab with Ceramics to make an installation. My students incised and carved into engobe-coated clay hexagon tiles. They still need to get fired and then glazed and fired then installed. Eventual plan is to install outside student art gallery.

Yesterday I took my painting class outside to talk landscapes. It was raining, but I had fun. Afterwards all but one went inside.

My daughter drew this self-portrait, and used lipstick on her lips to do the mouth. She’s brilliant. I’m going to hang up my brush.

Had our KC Art Faculty Exhibition reception this week. Some former students came out, and it was wonderful to see them.

I got a new bucket hat. I know they are trendy, but I’ve liked them a while, and good coverage from the sun.
