All manner of critters appearing

I noticed tonight at pottery

that all manner of critters were appearing on our shelves.

Sean from Tuesday Kids class loves playing Pac man

and has been working on this and a set of ghosts.

David was pipped at the post at last years Mildura Show

with Babara's pig oil lamp,

he is planning to blitz it this year with this money box.

I think his Echidna might delight the judges also.

A small child has been inspired to copy the idea,

which is the highest form of flattery!

We are planning a fundraising exhibition and I thought

it might be a good idea if all the children made an oil lamp.

A bit of a theme, and focus.

We started today but just one has neared completion for drying.

Our newest member Linda has a back ground in mosaic making.

Her attention to detail with the underglazes will ensure a fantastic finish.

And just what was I doing you may ask?

I was fixing the slab roller that continally drops a shear pin and beaks down.

I can fix it myself now and have establised that it is just the thickness of

a piece of paper that makes it too small for the hole.

Made a shim from the day diary and so far so good.
