So tonight was Week #10 of our Beginning Wheel class. Boy this session really flew by?!
But tonight was the last class of the session – which we generally celebrate with a
potluck and sharing of pots & stories. Lots of food.. lots of fun… lots of desserts!!!
And then to cap it off, I challenged my students at the beginning of class with the idea
of doing a “bowl exchange” at the end of class. Everyone stepped it up and brought
a pot into class to exchange. So I “hid them” in brown bags so the exchange would be
a bit more anonymous, with a chance to trade & switch it up ala White Elephant games!!!

After all of the trading, and almost everyone having taken their turn, it came down to
two bags and two people to choose… me and Pam. Oddly enough, the pots in the
last two bags were by me and Pam?! Who’da thunk?! So I got Pam’s and Pam got mine.
Even stranger… of the whole class, we were the only two who had “donated” two pieces
into the mix. So I got two bowls by Pam, and she got a mug and a mini bowl of mine!
Her bowls were very sweet – one simple shino, the other subtle & creamy yellow salt.
