Look what I made Mom!

Today's fun for the day was a trip with a couple of other girls to Petroglyph which is a Ceramic Lounge Studio. You pay about $9 to sit there, then choose a piece of pottery from a fairly large range (purchase of pottery is extra) and paint it. They provide a large range of paints, brushes and a few other random tools as well as stencils, stamps and other stuff like that.

So we spent nearly 3 hours there working on our masterpieces, and it was good fun! It was nice to just sit around chatting, relaxing and painting. It was fairly quiet, so I'm not sure how much of a moneyspinner it is. There was just us four and a bunch of maybe 8-10 old ladies. Apparently they can do kids parties, but I don't know how children, fragile breakable things and enough concentration to finish a piece without getting bored and fidgety would mix together!

Our stuff is now getting glazed and fired, and we'll be able to pick them up Saturday evening, so will provide pictures then.

Ha ha, I once did ceremic work at teachers college. Our masterpieces (ashtrays ... well, it was the 70s) came back from being fired and I was so chuffed when the the teacher held my up for the whole class to see ... until he said it was how NOT to do it.

Hope yours turns out good. Looking forward to the piccie.
