In today's episode, Amanda joins Tim for the July mailbag and an opening story about a wedding that was quite the adventure. Then, back by popular demand, more gardening talk! (and other creative endeavors, but skip to about 18:00 if you want to get right to the art ed talk). Listener questions include discussions about knowing when an artwork is finished, fighting for your planning hour, and the best strategies for teaching fine motor skills.
