Inspiration

Teaching not only gives me the opportunity to share my passion.....but as I do, I also need to show examples....so I have to come up with ideas for the demonstrations. This is when inspiration happens on a dime.....but can lead to new discoveries. This year when I demonstrated how to make a mug, I wanted to stress the creative end of things, because they all know what a mug looks like....but can they think beyond what they already have experienced?

And so.....these fish mugs appeared...and have inspired me to take the idea to my studio and work on it further.
