Stellar Pottery Class

We met last week for pottery at the studio, and we had a great time. It was nice seeing BL, who is such a wonderful person, as well as K,A&DM and D,C,&AE. It was a nice group, and while I am always pensive to see how they dynamic develops with larger groups of adults and kids.

What’s nice about the group is that the kids and adults all get along. They seem to enjoy the same books (Harry Potter, Percy Jackson), and the dads get to hang and talk man talk, like using hammers and drills, or the best recipe for rice crispy treats. You know, typical real-man stuff. BL was there and is very supportive and kind, but she’s a wonderful and talented person who seems to have found her passion in life. That’s a nice thing for kids growing up to see, plus she’s very helpful and knowledgeable, and it’s a great environment to be creative.

We met in the AM and hung out for two hours. The kids got to work on various projects and even the dads played around with clay (weapons, battle implements, etc.), while discussing masculine issues, of course.

Afterward, we had a snack, and then everyone had places to be, so we signed off and hit the road. We had to run errands like shopping for vittles, and then A had rehearsal and after that, story hour. No rest for the weary, as the saying goes. Plus, KM would like to do a regular thing, which is A-okay for us.

Until the next time, thanks for reading.
