Winter Wonderland

It's a winter wonderland over here and still pouring down!

Yesterday I volunteered at Penland for Community Day, helping teach 5 minute beginning wheel throwing back to back to lots of people who came by the clay studio. Other studios were open for the public to browse and take part in some of the hands on craft activities like blacksmithing, glass blowing, photography, paper making, and more. It was a full day!
Lots of adults and kids were there to try their hand at the wheel, some having never tried it or even seen a pot thrown before!

Today I worked on some hand built pieces waiting for some other pots to dry. They'll be ready to trim tomorrow I hope.

The photography class John and I are teaching is full but we are doing another one the following day, March 29 and there are a few spots left I believe. We also will be scheduling another one for another time, too. If you are still interested you can email John about the March 29'th class or to be put on the wait list for the next one. jbritt@main.nc.us
