Today is the last day of BOYCC, and the show is sort of starting to roll, a bit late. The plan for the rest of the day is to finish up the CM Glaze stuff, and then head back to Pour Horse for lunch and a mold making workshop. On Friday, one of the workshops was to make a medallion and we'll be making simple molds of these medallions that we get to take home. I also did a china painting workshop that included some samples of paints, so I could take my mold and make some medallions and paint them. My medallion isn't something that I'd consider selling, but it certainly would be a nice giftie type thing for friends and family. I also made a pin and a tile in the china painting class.
This has been a lot of fun...the show is really de-emphasized.
I would love to see more of these immersion type weekends. I've toyed with doing a performance oriented thing, that would include a trip to the Horse Park of NJ for combined driving or something, but I have yet to work it out. I do wonder if the hobby is really ready to take this step. We constantly look for ways to grow, and focus so much on kids, and I am not sure that's the right place to look to the future. If it never rises about plopping a plastic horse on a table, those kids aren't sticking around anyway.
I'll likely ruminate on this more as I fly home tomorrow. And better pictures when I get home!
