I had the pleasure of welcoming artist and educator Kaitlin Pomerantz’s class “MATTERS: Connecting Art + Design to Materials, Materials to Labor + Land” to my studio one rainy day, where we looked at samples and made our own paint. MATTERS, is an arts education initiative connecting artists and designers to materials, materials to labor and land, creating groundwork for creative practice rooted in awareness, care and repair.
