Day 3 - Boo Hoo It is the Last Day

Day three - sessions with Lindly and Donna and then a Party in the evening.  Sadly last day though!

We kicked off with Lindly - I had not met her before and what a fantastic class it was.  Quite a lot of colour theory which I am hoping I can remember as we made some amazing stuff.  I actually produced a blade keeper (still needs lacing together) and some pendants got cut out of the clay that was left.  I will upload these tomorrow as I need to empty my bag yet because by the time I got home I was shattered and slept and slept.

This is a picture of Lindly's necklaces

The colour graduation in these is fantastic - and you do not buy clay in these colours.  You mix it.  I wish I could afford to buy one of these.

Next class was Donna's and we were making spinner rings.  Unfortunately the ovens were not baking to the correct temperatures (perhaps they had had so much use they were giving up) and we did not manage to finish ours.  Mine was about one of the only ring bases that did not break but guess what?  In the second firing it was touching the tin base and it broke.  Now it is a big repair job so you will have to wait for my photograph.

In the meantime - here are Donna's samples

The rings actually spin when you touch them - quite a clever idea.  We worked with black, white and red so I wanted to be different and did mine in red and black with white underneath.

That evening we had a party and it was hilarious.  Hilarious because Danni acted as Auctioneer and he was so funny.  I wish I had videoed some of the occasion.  Here is Danni with Sue's daughter, Lauren, acting as his assistant.

Lauren did not like the mallet banging on the table (you know, the one - two - three going - going - gone) and she would cover her ears.  But then she got hold of the mallet and it became a different story.

All in all a fantastic weekend (well, three days) so I urge you to get saving up for the next one.  Will upload more tomorrow when my bag gets emptied.
