Main Street: Rendville ———————————————————————— Over the past several months I’ve been working on a photographic project in my community. This ongoing series focuses on the micro-region referred to by the local Appalachian folk as the Little Cities of Black Diamonds. It is a visual exploration of place, community, and cultural identity in the coal mining boom towns of SE Ohio, Appalachia. ———————————————————————————————————————————————— #littlecitiesofblackdiamonds #blackdiamonds #seohio #appalachia #appalachian #coalminingtown #boomtown #lcbd #newtopographics #ohio #everydayappalachia #rurallife #everydayruralamerica #folk #folkphotography #folklife #subjectivelyobjective #blackdiamond #blackdiamonds

In July, Andrés Lemus-Spont (my partner in life and in some of my creative work) and I were invited to be artists-in-residence at Folly Arts, a new organization in southeastern Ohio cofounded by artists Kate Hampel and James Pepper Kelly.
Throughout our weeklong residency, Andrés and I each worked on our own projects, with his mostly involving building a large-scale interactive sculpture from salvaged natural materials outside along a local highway, and mine mostly involving writing and editing indoors. Together, we led our first out-of-state FrankenToyMobile workshop (photos here and here) as part of Glouster First Fridays—a monthly community event sponsored by Dirty Girl Coffee, a badass local coffee company with “a social mission to promote women’s economic progress in Ohio’s Appalachia.”
On our breaks from creating, we visited a nearby state park and parts of Athens, and even attended a neighbor family’s Fourth of July party. We met a number of local creatives, arts supporters, and other residents, including a few dozen youth who participated in our workshop. Thanks to Folly’s wonderful cofounders, we also got to chat with Ohio-based musician Brian Harnetty (a recent A Blade of Grass Fellow for his Forest Listening Rooms project; see video), play with their delightful toddler, and eat seriously artful and delicious meals!
The Folly residency was such a warm and warming experience, with incredibly supportive, encouraging, and thoughtful hosts—both amazing creators in their own right—and surrounded by curious and welcoming community members. I felt very honored to be invited to Folly Arts so early in their journey and am excited to see how they grow.
Images: Two of the photos show a sizeable sculpture made from branches tied together into pentagons, which in turn form a hollow three-dimensional shape that hangs from a tree; Andrés stands on a ladder in one image and talks to two men in the other. Another photo shows various writing/editing materials (a laptop, binder, index cards, post-it notes) arranged around an armchair. The fourth photo shows Andrés in the woods. All photos by Marya Spont-Lemus.

Are you intrigued by the concept of 3D printing and don't know where to start? Did you get a 3D printer for Christmas and need help getting started? Are you a teacher interested in using a 3D printer in your classroom? This class will talk about what 3D printers are, how they work, what software they use, what you can make with them & what printer may be right for you to purchase. I'll also talk about how I made my Ghostbuster's proton pack using 3D printing as well as other fun 3D printed movie props. #3dprinting #Gallipolis @roguecrusade #GallipolisOhio #SouthEastOhio #SEOhio (at Gallipolis, Ohio)
