It is week 7 at the Art Museum!! It is amazing looking back when I just started and was very timid and unsure of the role that I would play in our staff! From that to now being offered a position to continue my adventures in working here. I couldn’t be happier in my decision to apply to be a part of the Columbus Foundation Fellows. 

This week at the museum was teen camp week, we had students from 12 years old to 18. This week was extra special because instead of me teaching any of the classes, I was able to be a part of the class. We had a few students who could not attend our leather making class and Phyllis offered me a spot in taking the class. I had never done any types of work using leathers so I of course jumped at the opportunity! In the end, it was one of the best artistic moments of my life. I made a crossbody purse. From pressing the imprints into the leather, to stitching the entire thing together. I would not trade this experience for anything!

Other than doing the class, this week involved a lot of prep work for the next 2 week of camp with the kids. I was able to get a lot done and we shouldn’t be too stressed for the remaining time of camp. I look forward to what the next 3 weeks bring!
