Learning new things

While I love to tell people of what we do, I enjoy sharing ten times more when we can do it in a hands on setting. When Julio came to visit he wanted to try his hand at creating our brand of magic. Yesterday, he did some painting and sculpting with epoxy. Today, he did some glazing, then welded for the first time. He attached galvanized mesh, mixed our 'secret' concrete mix and troweled it on to the armature. Then, for the first time he did some carving and did a great job too! When someone is as eager to learn and try new things it makes my job as a teacher really easy. But it isn't all one way for as Julio learned he also shared his knowledge with me. It's been a great visit so far and tomorrow we continue the fun!
