I haven't written a blog post for awhile simply because I have been going full tilt boogie. I am teaching a two week course here at Pinecroft and when I get into teaching I don't sleep very well since I go to bed thinking about tomorrow and the students work.

When I go to an exhibition I get so absorbed in the moment I forget to take pictures. My mind is too busy to think about what I'd love to tell you. I can tell you that this class is using one heckava pile of clay. There are pots in four rooms at the studio.
We started with cups as a warm up went to big casseroles, bacon bowls, jugs, vases, teapots and we are finishing with cut and altered plates. I crashed on the couch of the wood kiln room this afternoon since I was hit hard with a cold. Giving too much and not sleeping enough. Tomorrow I'll get them to put their pots together and we'll take a group picture. I'm very impressed with the work they are doing. Every one of them has made a 25 lb casserole even a women with two years part time pottery. It's technique not muscle. I think they are all surprised at how good their work is turning out. Good teachers turn out excellent students.
