Class. Time.

This last class session has been the longest and strangest ever! It stretched ever longer as we had to keep canceling class because of extreme heat or excess smoke and then add those days onto the end of the session. As I’m writing this, I’m still working to finish all the firings!

Usually, I’m a relentless optimist, but I feel like curling up and hiding from the world right now. There’s a lot of things going on and sometimes it’s just too much. I also seem to be at odds with time-constantly impatient to get things done and yet reluctant to start things. Maybe I just need some breathing room, time with no set obligations to work at my pace.

So, I’m going to give myself a little time off. This next class session should finish at the end of November, but things being what they are currently, I’m expecting delays. To keep us safe, masks will be mandatory and I’ll continue to keep the door and window open. By then, it will be pretty cold in the evening and we’ll be wishing we were in our nice, cozy homes instead of in the cold ceramics studio with the door open! Classes will restart in the new year but not until it gets a bit warmer or Covid is miraculously under control. But stay tuned, I have a couple of interesting things coming up!
