Creative Clay Class for HEP Veterans

Creative Clay guest artist Johnny Hobbs and member artists Gina K., Carolyn R., and Marquise R. recently traveled to the Homeless Emergency Project in Clearwater to teach a class on portrait drawing to military veterans Joel Barber, Al Huth, Jr., and John Hearn. The member artists and veterans paired up to draw one another and chat. After about a half an hour, Gina announced, "I made a new friend today and I feel so good about that."
