Robert M Baumbach Art and Photography

Teacher Works

This is an exhibit of my art work accumulated through my thirty years of teaching. Many of these pieces were done as demonstration pieces for classes. Some were the result of spontaneous reactions to an image or action that caused me to create a statement. Some works were experiments with new ideas. Enjoy viewing them as much as I enjoyed making them.
Raku-Pot

Early in my teaching career, I taught crafts, drawing, painting, printmaking, ceramics and jewelry-making. Top is a raku pot.

I have always enjoyed detailed drawing of glass and various objects. The assignment was to imagine that you are an illustrator documenting artifacts dug from this site in the far distant future.
