This is a blog about my experiences teaching Ceramics to a group of students from the Ruth Parker Eason School. I’ll be writing about events as I remember them, not necessarily in the order in which they occurred. And, of course, there are the myriad ways in which facts are colored by memory and love.

The CAC staff are excited to be back in our building -- on a limited basis -- to finalize plans for our summer classes and programs.

CAC will start a few classes the week of July 6 with additional classes added each week. Even though CAC staff are in the building, it remains closed to the public -- only staff and registered students after (July 6) will be allowed in the facility. While we would like to see everyone, for the health and safety of all, we must adhere to this “NO WALK-IN” policy for the near future.

Chesapeake Arts Center (CAC) has been closed for over 10 weeks and, we, like you, are itching to get back to normalcy. We greatly miss working with our students, our colleagues and our artists. Of course, the health and safety of everyone is very important to us. While we are not yet cleared to open our doors, rest assured that we have been diligently working on a plan that allows us to safely offer arts programming once we get the “okay.” Our C.A.R.E.S. (Connecting the Arts Responsibly Everyday Safely) Plan shares new ways of operating that prioritize the health and safety of employees, patrons, our community, and all those we serve.
