Pottery again


Well once again I had my lovely summer vacation up in New Brunswick, Canada. I was away for about 7 weeks and had a nice escape from the worst of the Florida heat right in the middle of the summer. When I got home in mid-August it was still hot, but I knew I was on the "home stretch" towards the loveliest 7-8 months of the year, which we are now entering.

But up in Canada I once again enjoyed taking classes at the Tidnish Bridge Art Gallery in Tidnish Bridge, Nova Scotia, just over the border from New Brunswick. As before our instructor was Melanie Landau. The pieces are all hand-built, not thrown on a wheel. Can't you tell from their lumpiness? LOL. But I managed to successfully create an actual usable coffee mug, as well as two small bowls.
