Hi Everybody!

   As many of you know, I am currently taking courses at the local university to become certified to teach Elementary and/or Special Education. One of the classes I am taking this semester is Creative Expressions.

   One of our assignments is to interview an artist, this being defined as someone who frequently practices their craft...not necessarily someone who makes a living from their art. The range includes any kind of craft, art or music....so you KNOW I thought of all you fine folks here at Mudcat!!! Here's the thing. At the moment, I am looking just to create a list of folks I could talk to about their specific form of art. The interviews would involve a phone call or maybe a somewhat lengthy email exchange. I am wondering if some of you would be willing to let me or another university student interview you. All the other students are pre-service teachers as well. Please PM me if you would be interested!

Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   

Michelle :)

sadly my art is a secret exotic craft and the danger is that unsympathetic questioning might disturb the rare jewel..... that aura, wherein lies the still centre of all my creativity. And that would really shit things up.

only kidding ......

the website will tell you what I do, and has my e-mail - what egomaniac could resist?
