If ever there was a time for a camera at this place...THIS was it. JoAnn was part teacher, part potter and part sit down comedian as she taught us the steps to throw. Every piece of the creation has a funny little anecdote to go along with it and if we weren't all concentrating so hard we would have been giggling the entire time. Way too busy thinking...we behaved. It was an informative first class but fun as well. I'd also like to mention that there are odd parts of my hands and arms somewhat sore. Since I ended up with three things that no longer look like balls of clay I can understand why. I can't, however, say WHAT they are so we'll call them vessels until some trimming helps give me a guide. The other students have a range of skills, ages and personalities but we're all there together to learn. Some people need to relax and feel the clay. Of course, I just imagined Patrick there behind me and I think I did alright. Now the fun begins....
Thanks, JoAnn for a great class!!!! It was a blast and I'm very excited!!!
