"Jesse Lott: Artist in Action" is a Fine Introduction to a Houston Treasure

I have been attending Jesse Lott's workshops at Project Row Houses for the past month. Learning to create wire sculpture and paper masks has been a fun and challenging experience. The highlight for me, however, has been the camaraderie and conversation with Mr. Lott and my fellow workshop attendees, who are not only from Third Ward, but from throughout Houston and beyond. Lott stresses the importance of building a stable, strong foundation when creating a piece of art; that philosophy also applies to the mission of Project Row Houses in fostering a sense of community. I've lived in Houston for five years - these past few weeks at Project Row Houses have strengthened my connection to the city in ways I hadn't anticipated.

If it's not hard, then nothing new is happening.
