From Trash to Future Landscape


Selma Art Camp kids designed a landscape of the future from trash salvaged by their instructor, Charlie "Tin Man" Lucas.

Double click the photo, and look closely. There are houses of the future designed from paper dispensers, roads and walkways from old siding, fencing from former bathroom tile, cornerstones from molding, and even people and an American flag.

Weavers at Work


Last week's City of Selma Art Camp included a weaving class, and I fell in love with this royal blue and white design. It's a creation of one of the campers who I believe is on his or her way to becoming an excellent weaver.

Alabama Weaver Nancy Kenfield of Selma provided the looms and other equipment and taught the children about her craft. By the time I arrived last Wednesday, most of the young craftsmen were able to enter the studio and set up their work without assistance. Very inspiring!
