My last post was just before Mother's Day. Since then we wrapped up the semester and had graduation at school, I completed my first Olympic distance triathlon, and then I graded AP calculus exams for a week. This blog is supposed to be about pottery, so I'll spare you the details of the triathlon (embracing my inner athlete - 12th place overall and 3rd in my age group - Woo Hoo!) and the AP reading (imagine over 900 calculus teachers in one place working to grade over 400,000 AP calculus tests - embracing my inner geek).
I was too busy the last two weeks of the semester, but once school was out, I managed to get back in the pottery studio for a couple of weeks before I left for Kansas City where the AP reading is held every year. There were some pots that were finished up during that time, but I forgot to take pictures of them. Here are the last few things that I worked on.
Covered casserole - I really like making these.
Mugs with texture - thinking about tan outside with red and blue on the insides of these.
Now that I'm back home for a few weeks before vacation, I hope to work on embracing my inner artist a little bit. It sounds strange to me to refer to myself as an artist. Two different times today (I'm working the gallery) people have asked what I do. My answer is always, "I'm a teacher," but that wasn't what they were asking. They wanted to know which work in the gallery is mine. I guess I've got to work on considering my location when answering that question from now on.
I hope to have more pictures of pottery to share with you soon. I would really like to build up some inventory so that I do not have to work so hard this fall.
