I’ve been working with a group called the “Denton Artist Resource Collective” (D.A.R.C.) and I’m working on hosting skillshares at my house. Skillshare’s are meetings where people can come to learn a new craft/artform and share/teach any knowledge that they have to offer as well. Me and my roommate have set up the house to be able to accommodate different crafts/artforms. So far the skills we have to offer are ceramics, sculpture, video, painting, drawing, electronics, as well as a community graffiti wall for everyone to add to! So things have been good.
