Guest post by Creative Arts Lead, Tyler Swain
Some of you may have noticed the bustling, “jam-packed-with-materials” space that has become our Creative Arts Center over the last few months. On any given day you may walk in and run into a cardboard robot, or paint being shot out of a squirt gun, or being flung with flyswatters, while piles of materials like cups and lids, old magazines and yarn are sitting on tables with scissors, glue and tape of a multitude of colors.
