And our BIG WINNER!!!
CONGRATULATIONS DONNA… who came into the LILLSTREET THROWDOWN
as the “dark horse” and the only primarily handbuilder in the class. I must admit I was questioning if she would be able to keep up with the wheelthrowers… but she SHINED!!! Her creativity, boundless enthusiasm, and willingness to try anything made her the winner!!!
Huge thanks to all of my wonderful students this session! I had so much fun “playing” with all of you this session! Thank you for always sucking it up and playing along with the challenges. Thanks for the camaraderie & supportive nature you all brought to the class. I’ve always thought that pottery classes should be fun, social and community building… and we’ve proven once again that they can be! Thanks again for the great class.
YOU GUYS ROCKED IT!!!
Left to right, kind of… David, Teresa, Jacob, Molly, Ryan, Tatiana, Taylor, Jon, Claire, Donna, Patti and Susan! You guys were the BEST!!!
Thank you, Gary! And big thanks to everyone who made this class such a fun! I think that everyone agrees that it was a great learning experience that expended our skills by pushing us out of our comfort zone (sometimes;)) and stimulated our creativity by making us think outside the box (quite often)! Hope we’ll see each other around a lot!
Tatiana
TATIANA – Thank you so much for being a part of the success of this class. If it weren’t for the great group of people, we would not have had such a supportive & encouraging class. I had so much fun pushing you all, and watching each of you step up to the challenge and succeed every time! You guys were great!!!
And, oh but wait there’s ore….
I also updated this blog post with more pictures… of YOUR pieces!!!
