It was busy, but I would have loved to spend more time doing it.<br /><br />JACKIESUE, Anyone can do it with a little instruction and encouragement. Go for it!<br /><br />Elephant's Child, Thanks! Hopefully I have some things to share. Clay is fun and it is okay to manipulate it without guilt. My brain was full, but somehow everything seems to be filed wrong and everything is out of order. <br /><br />Gorilla Bananas, Thanks for the earworm, but I like that tune. I like the hammer idea. Back in the day I made a large beer pitcher with the handle on the same side as the spout for use after the first pitcher had been emptied.<br /><br />Onevikinggirl, It has actually been fun to use my own stuff or serve someone else with it. <br /><br />Sioux, I'll bet you would surprise yourself with what you can do. You never know until you try.<br /><br />Shammickite, The only pieces I had left over from the first era were the ones too ugly to give away. Not all of the new stuff is good as some are a bit too thick and heavy. I also have another class in February that Joan recommended that I take. The guy comes up from Duluth to teach it and she says he is an excellent teacher.<br /> Jonohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18170214396483091419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5108355111065091083.post-72848092520239944122017-01-03T05:18:55.919-08:002017-01-03T05:18:55.919-08:00Oh I really like the pottery that you made.

What are you going to do with yours? But I will be taking another course with a local potter in Jan or Feb, date yet to be determined, so I'll have to brag about what I make via this blog!Shammickitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11969803866899076638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5108355111065091083.post-83817405828509617842017-01-03T02:35:28.638-08:002017-01-03T02:35:28.638-08:00I'm quite impressed.

There's a matching mug in there somewhere.<br /><br />anne marie, It is one of the art forms that I don't completely suck at. And Happy New Year to you. I miss the Mummer's Parades.<br /><br />Jennifer, I also made a casserole dish, but it wasn't as nice as Suzy's. The first two I attempted turned into plates which actually turned out okay. <br /><br />Linda, Thanks! It was a great diversion from my everyday stuff and generally quite a bit of fun. Still trying to learn patience with myself, however.<br /><br />jenny_o, Good thing my name isn't Harry. Think of the confusion! Have been doling them out, but still have a way to go. In the meantime I have to store them. Sometimes I actually use them.<br /><br />Al, Thanks! You are very creative, especially in your writing. Most of us would consider that to be an art form and I am envious of your ability.<br /> Jonohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18170214396483091419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5108355111065091083.post-76569415989867023532017-01-02T10:31:28.694-08:002017-01-02T10:31:28.694-08:00Wow, those are great!
