Teaching artist, Carlos Eduardo Gacharna, came home to Madison to facilitate the Bubbler's inaugural Shoe Design residency in a weeklong series with youth residing at the Dane County Juvenile Court Shelter Home. Carlos and the students, along with Carlos's teaching assistant who originally suggested shoe design to Carlos as a teen participant in a different Bubbler program one year ago, worked together to experiment with different types of footwear and different levels of design while documenting their processes and sharing all of their findings -- all in an effort to begin building the foundation of an in-depth shoe design program for Madison teens.
