It was wonderful--and chaotic--to be there. Once, during the four hours, there must have been 30 people in the smallish space! When I am at home or Cattail, I am alone and it is very quiet. I think the variation is good for me.
These pots will look SO different after they are fired. I am becoming attached to their pastel good looks and they will be darker and more vibrant. That is part of the wonder of pottery--the shifts in color and changes in surface.
I am wondering today why I always step away from expertise I've gathered? I feel so uncomfortable telling people how to do things. I learn best when I am left to work things out for myself. That is the nature of the self-directed learner. But it is a different thing to always be stepping out of the expert box because I am uncomfortable...
Excellent to see you (and your latest work) here. I'm at badinfluencestudio.blogspot.com if you want to check out what I'm up to. I'll send a longer message on fb - but I wanted to say congrats on the blog.
