What happens when the teacher is sick?

Not much!  I've been home battling bronchitis and just couldn't imagine sharing it in our tight quarters.   But meanwhile,  the countdown is on and all the art moms are tying up the loose ends for the grand ga-la-la this Friday night.

Since I have nothing to show you, I thought I'd post a few photos of the tools of our trade:

Now this last one is one I'd rather not even have in the studio!  Yes, the erasers.   I'd prefer the focus to be more on the process than perfection - so I do my best to talk our artists out of erasers if I can.

After the break, we'll be getting into our three dimensional work and spending lots of time with our hands in clay!   Can't wait.
