Life Pieces To Masterpieces

If you haven't seen the first episode of LPTM's new podcast yet, you're missing out! Here's a snippet of the conversation:

One of our amazing LPTM Saturday Academy program participants! He started at Life Pieces as a toddler who loved Spiderman - now he's a senior in high school about to go to college for engineering, as well as a Student Representative on the DC State Board of Education!

Canvas prints of this painting are available through the month of May: artbylifepieces.org/prints/p/canva…

The school year is almost over - summer will be here before we know it! At LPTM's Connecting Community Across the Globe Summer Program, our young Apprentices study two different countries every year. This year, we'll be learning all about Cameroon and Sweden!

This month, we have canvas prints of this painting available on our portfolio site: artbylifepieces.org/prints/p/canva…

12 years ago, this LPTM Apprentice was in our youngest class: Treehouse! Now he's a Junior Mentor working with little Apprentices who are just as small as he once was. He's about to graduate from high school - with a full ride to college! We are so proud of you, Brother Marquay!

Being a master sculptor takes the kind of focus these two young Apprentices have! Also essential: the guidance of professional sculptors from Glen Echo Pottery! Many thanks to the amazing volunteers of Glen Echo Pottery for this continued partnership!

Engaging in your creative abilities is such a source of joy! Our LPTM Apprentices got to experience the thrill of sculpture again in their second session with Glen Echo Pottery volunteers. This time, they applied colored glaze to the pieces they'd sculpted in the last session!

Who else was at the @dcunited game against @OrlandoCitySC a couple of weeks ago? If you were there, you might have seen LPTM - and the posters designed by our Apprentices (program participants)! Many thanks to D.C. United for this incredible opportunity!
