Artistic Antics

Well, last week, Craft Tuesday was rescheduled for Thursday because of the weather and such. But, Craft Thursday was a success! I made a T-shirt for St. Patty's Day to wear at school. It was super easy to make!

Also, today was day 1 of our pottery class! Robin, Caitlyn, and I decided to take an 8-week class (2 hours every Tuesday) to make pottery. We arrived fashionably late, but only by 5 minutes. Then, the main instructor talked for 35 minutes before we even touched any clay. She claims to have taught this class for 18 years, and if so, she needs to spice it up a bit. But other than the droll instruction, it was actually pretty fun! They only have one wheel, so we're going to be making a lot of coil pots, pinch pots, and pots using the dowel method or flat rolling the clay to shape. We'll see how it goes. Robin actually got to use the wheel today, but she's done it before, so she didn't really have any trouble. Caitlyn and me, on the other hand, struggled just to shape our clay correctly. The instructors had to help us a lot. Nevertheless, it was fun! Not quite sure what I made (maybe a vase), but I'll get to paint it and then decide what to use it for.

Tomorrow is Weigh-In Wednesday!
