Well, it only took one month for my convention projects to make it home -- so long, in fact, that I had forgotten some of the projects. All of them made it back without a scratch which to me is unbelievable considering they were shipped in the same box I had only planned on carrying as far as the business desk at the hotel. As well, in picking them up I got to visit another studio owner and spend a few minutes chatting -- it's very rare we get to do that since we are all so busy running our businesses.
Anyway, they are here and within the next two weeks I'll get them all completed and fired so I can plan a few classes to pass onto my customers. Keep your eyes peeled and on the calendar so you can schedule a creative visit.
A huge 18-wheeler stopped right on the highway in front of my shop yesterday afternoon to deliver the much awaited slab roller too. It was quite funny to see this big truck parked out front with the driver carrying in the one and only box I was shipped...guess you just had to be there. Anyway, it's all put together and I can't wait to see what we can do with it. I'm going to make a few cookie cutter ornaments and see how affordable we can make them rather than purchase pre-fired ones. Otherwise, it's going to be great to have it during next year's summer art camps -- the kids had such a hard time keeping the clay at an even thickness, even with the right props.
Well, I need to prep for tomorrow's class -- we're making Halloween characters on 4" tiles -- a scarecrow, witch or skeleton...very cute, inexpensive and easy to make. Hope to see you there.
Don't forget -- there's less than 180 firing days until Christmas!
