YAYA Inspired Art Chairs
In 2015 I took a group of students to New Orleans to have an immersive experience at non-profit YaYa. Artist Rondell Crier connected us and we spent a couple days learning glass blowing, ceramics, and their history of making artistic chairs as a fundraiser. From this experience, we chose a select magnet school and, as fundraiser for their art department, we created 9 one of a kind art chairs for auction.

YAYA Inspired
Our students workshopped with the “YAYA’s” and learned compelling ways to see a chair as blank canvas for a conceptual idea. We took these workshops and applied them to our own middle school classes to help them create their own YAYA inspired designs!
