Last Wednesday was busy day for the John Fisher Project. John was visited by three different grade school classes. Now that school is back in session, Mendocino Art Center's Youth Artist Program is in full gear. The kids were wonderful, so wide-eyed and full of questions, so curious about how art happens.

John was also instructing a figurative sculpture workshop last week. There are ten or eleven adults onsite now, next to the sculpture—students of art, working with small blocks of stone, engaged in a serious effort to learn more about the art of figurative sculpture.  You can check out the slide show on the class here.

If you haven't been by lately, or even if you have, it's really an exciting time for a visit. The energy is high, the workshop students are fully engaged and you're likely to hear John providing instruction. And the kids, who will be coming by throughout the rest of September, are charming and eager and fun to watch. 

We'd also like to invite everyone to join us for the final gala unveiling of the sculpture next weekend.
