a local project

morgainaMy Modern Pottery Guild is going to do a fund raiser for our projects tomorrow. The plan is we are going to haul some potter's wheels, clay, tools, etc. down to the Farmer's Market. The Moscow Farmer's Market is the center of the community, fresh produce, baked goods, live music, people trying to get you to sign petitions, etc.
The difference between a Saturday Market in a city and in a smallish town is that you know a big percentage of the people there, all the Politicos & causes, and more time is spent talking than shopping.
Back to pottery, our guild got permission to set up our wheels and offer 10 minutes of instruction on a wheel for $5. and the person participating gets to take home a wet pot they threw.
Further, we can insure they get a successful pot. We are going to wedge the clay properly, center it, and open it up for them. Unless someone is extremely careless... with the first and most essential steps done for them anyone can do it. They may not be pretty shapes, but a fun experience.
Anyway, fun to me.
