Women in the Outdoors

Today I got to return to the Floyd Wildlife Club to do a class for the Women in the Outdoors event. I had two official students- one who was a third time participant in my class. It was fun to come back and see faces I know just from this event.

I demonstrated an oval vase- you just make it on an oval bat. Ok, just kidding. Here's the actual process here: 

I also made a yarn bowl (such an amazing idea!) and a jar to demonstrate how lids are made.  A crowd gathered after a bit and we had a great audience with lots of questions and comments. Two were brave enough to try their hand at the wheel and did an awesome job.

Oh, and the best part of the day was our get to know the clay exercise. Since we were at the Wild Life Club where you practice shooting, I figured we should make our own clay pigeons. So we did. But no one wanted to shoot them. So, everyone has a souvenir clay pigeon. (And they actually looked like birds :))

Here are some pictures from the day. Enjoy!!

Third time was the charm for this student- she did awesome!
