So right!
I remember when I just started. Throwing, centering, wooply stuff, but
stubborn about getting my head and hands around it. Looked at my first
patheic attempts and looked at the shelves of nice pottery thinking, there
is just no way! How can I get the bottom to look like that?
I was so relieved at the next class that instucted `trimming`, had never
heard of it, hadn`t yet read a book on pottery. Oooy! there may be a chance
for me yet! Cool!
Later, taught adult classes at the art centre. A woman was getting really
down. First class... We talked, she said there was no way she could afford
to stay with pottery..her stuff just wasn`t working and didn`t have the
dollars to buy so much clay as it would take, until she got it figured out.
So relieved when I showed how mistakes, learning, that melted messy slop
mess of the wheel could be used again! `What! do you mean it can be used
over?! Wow!`
Lela,
where it`s sunny out because the chinook wind is howling so hard out there,
it was lifting parked cars when I bought groceries. A man chasing his hat,
and a seniour getting tipped over. We got her in my car and took her to her
home. Babies and some older can`t get their breath when it blows like that.
Am thinking of saving for a walker long before I really need one for
something to hang on to..
and drivers pay more attention to people with walkers. The fine has gone up
to 600$ for drivers who don`t stop for pedestrians. The Alberta government
still won`t fine drivers with the cell phone stuck to their ear..Zero
tollerance for that in northern Europe though. Time.....
