Wow, what a weekend. Stupidly I forgot my camera today so was unable to document Day 2. It was a full on day with all demonstrators trying to complete the teapots they started yesterday. Stephen Bowers even managed to decorate, fire, glaze and refire a teapot in two days. And the whos who of the ceramics world even managed to make it in - Prue Venables, Patsy Hely, Liz Williams, Kirsten Coelho - I felt like such a ceramics groupie.
In between all the loveliness of watching great ceramists at work I was also working myself. All the associates were in charge of keeping everyone happy and fed so we were kept busy putting food out, making teas and coffees, cleaning up afterwards and starting all over again. I have been up at 6am for the past two days baking muffins for morning tea and was given the scary responsibility of cooking the BBQ lunch. Then there was the clean up afterwards - wiping down clay covered surfaces and throwing wheels and mopping floors. Needless to say I'm pretty spent but I don't care as it was an absolutely fabulous weekend.
