 Beth Ann instructs son Brian how to center the clay and keep it WET! |
 Now nephew Brian starts to open up the centered piece. |
 Dad tries his luck and starts to open his centered piece. |
 Beth Ann coaches as Dad works on the walls of his pot. |
 It's clearly a messy activity, but look how much fun he's having! |
 Dad adds the final touches to his wonderful creation, balanced, strong, solid, and attractive! We could call it beginner's luck, but we all knew he had talent! |
 My turn was fun and funny, as you can see from our expressions. Here I'm working on the walls, with hair pulled back to stay out of the mud. |
 I tried pulling up the walls and shaping them all too fast and this fantastic shape lasted only seconds more before it came crashing in upon itself, á la Demi Moore in "Ghost" (except that Patrick Swayze wasn't there to help)! |
