E&A Takes On The Wheel!

When is the last time you played with some clay and spun a pottery wheel?  Maybe high-School?  Maybe never?  For me, it was college.  Well we had the chance to relive those memories from WAY BACK WHEN in a pottery class!  Our instructor showed us the different techniques, showed us what NOT to do, and threw a couple pots right in front of our very eyes.  It was all coming back to me, and I thought, "Oh, I got this!"  Then we got to try it ourselves... and realized I may not have had it after all... but after a few tries, a couple pots and bowls later, I was back in the swing of it!  For some of the members, it was their first time ever, and they caught on pretty quickly too!    By the end of the class, all of us decided we could keep going for hours... and I think we were all satisfied with our final choice of our pottery wheel-spun creations... Now to choose the color of glaze... Some choices are harder than others, except that we can all agree, this was definitely an adventure! Events And Adventures Minneapolis
