Playing in the mud
Last week Steve found a potters wheel in a junk/antique shop.  He has wanted one for a long time.  We set it up on the porch of our old mobile home that we lived in while building our house next to it.  The kids were so excited!  Sunday after church we went to the
store,

and got a bunch of

He had today off, so we spent the day playing.  We both took pottery in high school, but haven't done any since then.  Steve says he didn't have the patience to throw pots then, he was more into sculpture.  We bought a couple "how-to" books and had the kids read them yesterday.  They were spouting all kinds of instructions and info.  Here we all are getting our hands dirty!

Willow, doing a great job for her first try!


Autumn with a little too much clay.  We found out we needed to start with just a little clay, the more clay the harder to control it.

Timothy concentrating hard.......

Aria trying out a tool.

Steve's second try which turned out really cute, like a little honey pot.  He doesn't like the word "cute" he says, but can't come up with a better one!  I didn't like the pic of me so you don't get to see it!  We already have friends lining up to come give it a try!  Everyone is welcome, so come on over!






Deuteronomy8:3b......people need more than bread for their life; real life comes by feeding on every word of the Lord.

THat's funny, because during our conversation yesterday I intended to ask you if you knew anywhere in this county to learn beginning pottery. Our conversation must have gone off somewhere else and left my brain behind---not unusual. Arrowmont doesn't do beginning classes. I know there are some in Knox., but I don't really want Ashley driving home that late by herself.
