“Every morning in Africa, an antelope wakes up. It knows it must outrun the fastest hunting dog or it will be killed. Every morning in Africa, a hunting dog wakes up. It knows it must run faster than the slowest antelope or it will starve. It doesn’t matter whether you are a dog or an antelope – when the sun comes up you’d better be running.” Adapted from an African proverb
I almost forgot to send the photos in and was frantically snapping and posting photos the evening before the deadline. Here are a couple of the photos although I didn't send the dog as it doesn't do him justice.
I gave a two hour ceramic modelling lesson to the WI ladies art group a few weeks ago and I have to say I was fired up with their enthusiasm and will be doing another session next week. We are going to make 'green men' - there is a photo of the sort of thing below. The ladies at the studio were very impressed with the red glaze - pure accident I think - the firing must have been a bit too high and the underglaze colours changed.The WI ladies will be using the air drying clay left over from the RDA exhibition so no need to fire.
