Having been a painter for so many years I am having a blast exploring the new medium of clay. I had taught art for a few years but my ability with clay was always limited to hand building. A few months ago, my daughter began taking painting lessons with a friend of mine at the Art Studio in New Castle, De. I knew that another friend of mine taught clay there but since it is about 1/2 hour away, I didn't have the to motivation to go over there until I started taking my daughter. Now I am learning to throw pots on the wheel, some of which I have posted here-my humble first attempts. I so enjoy the getting out to be with other artists and the warmth and camaraderie of the studio. Everyone is so helpful and friendly and I am really enjoying the challenge of learning something new. I think I might be becoming addicted :0) These are just a few pictures to introduce you to the studio.
Yay! How wonderful..fanatastic post..it is always so rewarding to try new things..shine on!

ReplyDeleteSounds like we have a lot in common, I am doing the same thing, I used to be a production potter and I got back into it just recently. My degree in Art is in Painting and Drawing, m first love. Like you I dreamed of being an artist and honed my skills at age eight, lol. I am fascinated by pictures of paintings and drawings since a little girl. Loved the pictures in fairy tales. My blog is tjcervants.blogspot.com
