HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Janice Richardson with Splinters N-Rust posted on social media recently about a collaboration happening in Hutchinson.
"The Clayworks here in Hutchinson reached out to me back in June about collaborating on a special project between them and Hutchinson Regional Medical Center," Richardson said. "I have been hired part-time by Clayworks to help teach some of the talented clients from Hutchinson and McPherson (12) paintings for the new Pediatrics wing that will be opening later this year.
"I worked for several weeks in July to design and prototype 12 paintings with a woodland animal theme and I have been teaching with the clients for a few weeks now. This is a very exciting time to be involved with such a great organization and I am honored to have been asked to participate in such a special project as a local artist.
"You will find me mornings Mon, Tues, Thurs and Friday at the Clayworks! Our paintings are coming along wonderfully and they are on display for all visitors to watch the progression as we work toward finishing them."
