Lori: Sheila just did a Saturday workshop on "How to Make Cane Handles"
with the Hamilton Potters Guild. there were 31 particicipants. sheila asked
them to bring 3 pieces they wanted to make handles for. She showed slides
of our pots, parts of the video, did a couple of demos and then turned them
loose. She came home thrilled with the "collective creativity " of the
group. She said everyone went home with great looking pieces. i think this
part of Ontario is going to look like the Cane Capital of Canada at the next
guild sale in November.
sheila will contact you off list. she is sleeping right now. I think she
found teaching more tiring than putting up with me.
Cheers,
Tony
I laughed at the Mayor playing Lawrence Welk to torture students. I can hear
the groans. Me thinks, they must have loved the guy.
Now, I know what to send Larry for Christmas.
