Textile Mentoring
“My name is Emma Ford. I'm 16 years old and
I'm a Junior at Lewis Central High School in Council Bluffs, Iowa.
I am currently involved in the Kent Bellows Studio and Center of
Visual Arts program in Omaha, NE. This semester I am working with
Mary Zicafoose in her studio and she is mentoring me in textiles.
This program has really opened my eyes to the art world and I
would recommend it to any teenagers interested in art.”
