Tonight was the final class for my “Simply Soda” students. Ten weeks of classes and soda-firing fun with mixed results. They’ve enjoyed the challenge and learned a lot about the variables of soda-firing. To finish off our final class, we had a fun potluck feast along with our “Plant & Planter Trading-Exchange Game.” So each student brought in some food… and the planter they made during class with a plant they chose to coordinate with their flower pot.
So here are the plant participants in our fun little trading-exchanging-stealing game!
A beautiful orchid & flower pot by Stacey…
A charming small duo of an African violet & succulent twosome by Taylore…
A ponytail palm and ridged planter by Katie…
Some “unknown plant” in a beautiful flower pot by Jackie…

A small orchid in a water-erosion-relief pattern flower pot by Patty…
And my stamped & soda-fired planter with beautiful variegated low-light plant…
And then Ryan, Taylore’s better-half, didn’t want to be left out of the fun. So even though he’s not really part of this class (he’s actually in my Tuesday night class), he decided to bring his own “plants” to trade in the game. So he worked up a batch of “dirt” for the potluck! Yummy gummy worms in chocolate pudding and chocolate cookie crumbled “dirt.”
