I taught a workshop this weekend! It was at the studio of Ray Bogle in Huntingtown, Maryland. It felt really great to be involved in a group activity again, after all this time. I also loved being in a classroom situation again. Ray first asked me about this last October, at a time when the pandemic stats were on the decline. It was originally scheduled for February. The winter surge of Covid cases caused us to push it back to August. How fortunate for me that Ray and all of these students were willing to wait another six months. And that we live in a state with a strong vaccine rollout and low case numbers, where it is still safe for groups to gather like this.
Teaching in-person workshops is not part of my usual business plan. It takes a lot of time to prepare for these! I agreed to do this one because my workload was a lot lighter, in the absence of art fairs. And of course, because the idea of spending time with a small group of potters in a safe environment was really appealing.
The workshop was titled Hakeme Basics, and while I was working up a plan for it, I decided to also make a video for my online pottery school. Hakeme Basics, the video version, will be available around the end of this month.
