We woke to rain and wind today, so plans for a trip to the beach were shelved in favour of a trip to a local art shop.C has always wanted to have a go on a potters wheel so here it is, he did really well for a beginner and it turned out much harder than he had imagined.
The art shop is a fantastic place, they have life drawing classes in the week so I am hoping to go, if I can persuade someone to drive me! (I forgot to tell you I can walk now! Without crutches, but still not able to drive!)
The real joy of this place is the sculpture, the owner Y taught sculpture in Poland, and has some wonderful work on display all from members of the public! Y is a fantastic artist and he has drawn some lovely full length sketches of horses.
Oops I don't think that will hold water!
So apart from taking pictures of C's great efforts I managed to pass the time decorating a little pot (not one I had made sadly! this is definitely C's area of expertise!).
This one is simply adorable! W
ell done!We have to go back (Yippee) next week to refine the pots and then C has generously asked me to decorate them for him!
It was a wonderful day, we had lunch in a nearby restaurant and by the time we walked to the car the rain had gone and the sun had come out!
What a fantastic place to spend a day whether it's wet or dry. It does look difficult so congratulations all around.
ReplyDeleteI remember when I was little there were interludes on telly because they didn't have enough programmes so they had gaps when they showed these bits of film. One of the interludes was a potter throwing a pot. It's fascinated me ever since.
That looks like great fun. I did a potter's wheel course once, and loved it. Very messy stuff!
