PNW Independent Study Class 2006

A couple of months ago, while having breakfast at the Essential Bakery in Wallingford, we hatched this idea of doing a Pottery Northwest Independent Study class, where we will engage in the complete pottery creation process.

We had more pots than could fit in the kiln. They will get in the next firing.
