ArtMetal

Have you ever tried to herd a herd of cats? Teaching metalsmithing to inner city high school kids fits that bill.

NO ONE is on the same page at the same time. I went on meltdown earlier because I had fifteen kids in the same class wanting different services at the same time.

MISS, I need to engrave this

MISS, I need to anneal this

Miz Em (the right name) I need another color metal that I can solder to this one

MISS, I can't find the right file

MISS, do you have sawblades?

MISS, the light bulb is out on the polishing machine (Someone didn't hold onto her piece and knocked the light out)

Miz Em, how do I turn the pickle pot on?

MISS, there are some files in this big cup of something and you told us not to get the files wet.

MISS, Someone said that this wasn't the right solder, but I don't know the difference.

All going off at the same time.

WHEW.

Educating the metalheads of tomorrow! What a worthy task.

Hugs,

Miz Em
