Metalsmith Studio

SeDoMoCha Middle School

After a little construction and many years of running an after school program art teacher Bobbi Tardif is excited to have a space designated for metalwork in the SeDoMoCha Middle School. Tardif is the 2019 Piscataquis County Teacher of Year.

After two years of planning and construction the studio opened at the start of the school year. Some Title IV funds were used to purchase supplies to start the program. In addition the funding came from grants and donations. Bobbi estimates that $15,000 has gone into the new space. “It’s been a lot of work but I’m so happy and impressed by the support we have gotten from the community and community businesses, it couldn’t be done without them,” she said.
