This week on the podcast my former student, Ava Battocchi. We have a great talk about a cross-disciplinary approach to new media and balancing the responsibilities of being a Loyola student and business owner. Ava took some time off before returning to school and started a dress making business called Timely Attire using vintage patterns and sewing machines. I will let her share in the podcast, but check out her site. http://timelyattire.co and Instagram account to see her work. https://www.instagram.com/timelyattireco/
But first there is big news in the Teaching in the Arts front- we have a sponsor! Wake Coffee in Philadelphia. Go to their site, get some coffee- I have been drinking the medium roast- get 10% off. http://www.wakecoffee.com?rfsn=1475475.472efe
Now back to the podcast.
Besides a great chat with Ava, the lesson of the day is about teaching via war stories. Sure, it’s great to see that the instructor has been there and done that, but the “back in the day” approach is not teaching!
And I start with a story about going to Lexington, KY last week to see my 4th and 5th grade teachers, and getting to feed Kentucky Derby winner, Orb. Close listeners to the podcast know I am working on a film about race track announcers, and love horse racing.
