Waiting around for more information and details, and eventually a treatment plan, is the worst. But, by a lucky accident, we already had some arty dates in the calendar, so I had plenty of distractions lined up.

The Raku workshop at Clay Studio Nottingham was my first more serious encounter beyond Funky Pots (where we have had many sessions with the kids for parties and to stay busy during the holidays), as well as a classy place in Stuttgart called Lamooi, where we spent a fun afternoon marking a significant birthday (everyone teased me for wanting a kids-style ceramics painting party 🙃🪴🫟🎨!)

Workshop firing pots and picking succulents…

There is also a flickr album with some videos from the day if you want to see a bit more about the process.
