2009 Christmas Party was attended by about 60 people including many kids who all got a hand in the clay.  The kiln opening was the first activity and people got to ohh and ahh about each others work.  This interchange is where ideas of future projects are born.

The evening fun was augmented by incredible food and deserts provided by those who attended.

 The contest portion of the event was less competitive this year and the spirit of play was evident in all.  (Some play to win of course.)

Judy and I presented awards for most  people brought in to start a class and those who have been in continuous participation in our pottery classes the longest.

See photos on this page and notice the enthusiasm exhibited by the kids (and adults) when relating to clay.  Not only did I have fun but I think everyone else did too.
