... that part of the revelation for my lack of joy in ceramics was that I missed Sara, and all of my other pottery friends, all of whom are now gone from the class (career change, in Ireland for grad school, stationed in Malawi with Doctors Without Borders, just plain busy, etc.)
The people in the class now are perfectly nice, but they're just not my buds.
So after I finish my current semester at Brickhouse Ceramics (in Long Island City) in late March, I will start taking classes at Earthworks (in the Upper East Side). For those of you not from NYC, neither of them are remotely near my home / neighborhood (heh) which does have a nearby studio, Mugi Pottery.
All of which goes to show that in pottery, as in life, it's not the STUFF (facilities, equipment, etc.) which is really important. Nope.
PEOPLE are what count, and I am blessed in my friends and family (but not in my time management skills... bye!)
