How's that for a wild set! Green Eggs anyone?

This guy was the only annoying person in the whole class.
Some of the guys place setting...Not bad. He was right about MAKING BIG PLATES FOR POT LUCKS!
Master John. Waits until the last firing and still has a knack for luck. Beautiful set!
Close up...Only John could wait for the last firing and pull the dinnerware out of the kiln and place it on the table...full of food.
Betty tells us about her set. From frustration to success! Great Job @ Michael's Winter Prison Camp.

Janice listened and made some large dinner plates and only had to go to the food table ONE time!

Alex lives on the edge and so does his work. Alex pots are so light, that they almost float away.
Alex made about 100 pots per class!

Patty made the salad utensils using clear tubes and little hearts to grab the wonderful salad!
My heart fell off my backside!
Lost my heart on my backside? What do you mean by that?
