Sounds strange. Did Square give you a reason for the chargeback? It seems the customer should have contacted you first if there was a problem and Square step in only if it can't be reconsiled. WOuld love to know what happens just in case I encounter the same thing some time. Haven’t had this happen, yet. Sounds strange. Did Square give you a reason for the chargeback?

The book will be part of my life forever, as pottery will be too. Thanks for all the inspiration. I loved the “Red Balloon” as a child and continued reading it as an adult to my children.

I teach classes at Lillstreet Art Center in Chicago. It's a Beginning & Advanced Beginning Wheelthrowing class. For those who have never touched clay... all the way up to those who want to refine their skills and have fun. My class is every Tuesday night from 7:00-10:00pm. Most classes are a 10-week session, except for summer when it's just an 8-week session. We start each session with introductions and a discussion if who's in class and what they want to cover during the session. And then I develop our syllabus based on where they're at and what projects they want to tackle. We cover the basics of wedging, centering & throwing... but I'm not afraid to challenge them along the way! I hope that covers it for you. If you need more information, check out the Lillstreet Art Center website at www.lillstreet.com. HEY CATHY – Sorry it took me awhile to get to this?!

Your elementary teachers should be proud! We sign the bottoms of our pots too. It's been evolving but I think we've both found something were happy with. I do want to make a SP stamp to press into the side of the foot since whether it's by Angi or me it's still ours. Nice handwriting there Gary. Your elementary teachers should be proud!
