Pottery Class 101

I am so excited! My sister and I are taking a beginner's pottery class together for 5 weeks, every Monday evening, at Mudslingers in Louisville. It was so much fun. I do not have any photos yet, as our creations are drying on the shelves right now, waiting to be fired. We each made a pinch pot, a piece made from slab hand building technique and a little dog sculpture. Mine is a pug, Mel's is a corgi. It was about 9pm and we both looked at each other and said I'm toast, let's make a sculpture. It was great! The last time either of us made pottery, we were in summer camp. I think we must have been 9 or 10 years old. I cannot wait to see how they turn out. I am looking forward to the glazing lesson.
