I’m back from Ohio. I took a few workshops there at a local art school. It was fun, I think I got more enjoyment from the people I met there. First off, everyone was an art teacher. Which is nice, because we just get each other. We understand what each one of us has to do in our jobs, no matter where we work, what population etc… It’s so nice not to have to explain myself.
Columbus is a nice city, a friendly city. Everyone I walked passed on the street greeted me with some sort of acknowledgement, and don’t even get me started on the quality of service from everyone in business establishments. People take time. They just do.
So here are a few pictures of what my trip was like:
Out the dorm-apartment window: Hello Columbus!Minutes later.Many more minutes laterI had a little window that looked out into the living room of the dorm-apartment.just like college.Really cool restaurant the first night. Could have been NYC!?!Surface design class– before...and after.Number 2 (the blue one)Hello Columbus! Where are all your people???Best coffee, sustainable practices…enough said.Oh, they were right. Jeni’s ice cream is so luscious, velvety, and delicious.Painting class…trying to work through it.Over-dyeing my scarves, led to over dyeing my finger.Raku experience. Mine’s in there somewhere.Into burn!Out of the pit.My piece! Copper glaze, red, and some crackle glaze. The black part is the burnt part of the pot.
