I’ve been stressed, what with the country of my birth being deliberately ransacked, but have managed to make some progress in class.

The first projects for my classes are wrapping up. I’ve made three sheet metal containers, a geometric sculpture, a number of still life drawings, and have about one more class session to go on a wrought iron hook.

It took a few sessions to ramp up and get the formalities out of the way, but my classes have started in earnest. I’ve gotten toned (paper), been instructed in the ways of gesso, taken up boxing, and learned the meaning of “too many irons in the fire”.

With a false start (the first day of classes was a snow day!), I’m back in school for the Spring semester.
