Late last week fifth grade artists finally
gained access to the Fabrics & Fibers Center in the art studio.
Each new center is opens in turn, and this is the last to open this
quarter. It has taken us a little longer to get around to each center
because this group of artists is extraordinarily self-directed and
quite busy with way too many projects as it is. We are already
mourning the fact that the quarter ends in three weeks – there is
still so much to do!

| Sewing in the morning sewing in the evening sewing at suppertime... "W" is wearing the shirt she customized over the weekend |
One creative, industrious student
showed up on Monday wearing a shirt she customized over the weekend.
Applying the sewing techniques that were introduced and practiced
Friday, “W” sewed a striking design on the front of her shirt.
She told me she was originally going for a bullseye pattern, but the
resulting asymmetrical design pleased her even more.
Artists know that there is never enough
time for making art. What a smart idea “W” had to optimize
artmaking time by using both her home studio and her school studio.
