So we did. Last year at this time I was up to my elbows in clay (which if you know me at all is not something I like...I hate having my hands in 'dirt'!) and it was a blast. My then 10 year old son was a whiz at it. He got frustrated. He had to practice patience. I wrote a post about it last year in February. The sad news is that this studio is closing this week. Now I will not be able to take that class with Tiny Dancer, who would be old enough next year. She is already pining that loss. I did succeed in making one little mug, but these are like rock stars! I love the idea that you will be filling your shelves with your own treasures. Thank you for sharing, Dot! Enjoy the day!
