320: Jonathan Barnes on teaching art online and 3d printing medical protective equipment

Today on the Tales of a Red Clay Rambler Podcast I have an
interview with Jonathan Barnes, who teaches ceramics, printmaking
and art appreciation at the St. Pete College Clearwater campus.
In our interview we talk about responding to COVID-19 in the
classroom and best practices for teaching art online. We also
discuss his personal response to the pandemic, which has been to
3D print personal protective equipment for medical professionals
in the Tampa Bay area. To find out more information on Jonathan

On today’s AMACO Community Corkboard we have the 28th Annual

response to the COVID-19 outbreak the tour will be held online
