[Nfb-krafters-korner] Clay Class and Face Book for us to use

[River Woman]

I have told Joyce that I can teach a couple of clay classes beginning in 
January. We will work out the dates and times for them. We will have the 
discussion/s first, and then do the classes after that. I do plan to begin 
with a class in making a free form plate or bowl, and we will be doing 
impressions in it. These are so beautiful and when we schedule the class I 
can post some photos of some I have made for those who can see them via Zoom 
Text or some other type of enlargement. I think this is the perfect class 
for us to begin with, and then if there is more interest, I have some other 
really beautiful pieces aw can make together in additional classes. I am 
excited to begin.  I plan to photograph all the steps as I made a piece and 
post them on an "album" on Facebook so that you can read/see the steps 
involved and you can have these as your class notes.  I'll be making some 
examples this fall, photographing all the steps as I do them, and posting 
them when we have the class. How is that?

I think that Face Book can replace the tapes we formerly had of classes - 
with facebook we can post instructions, and even photos of the steps, or 
even video instructions there. I think it is the perfect way for us to share 
the projects for anyone who wants to do that.
