Open house and happiness

 the open house idea was borne as a result of the fact that Ceramics or studio pottery is not really a known area for most of us Indians.In order to create interest in ceramic creations,I felt I have to start at the base, creating awareness...this would then create interest and curiosity will take it a step further.
What better way I could do this but to get people to my studio, explain to them the process, let them see the final product,[fruit of labour] , and also give them opportunity to touch and work with clay.Age was no bar,actually there was NO BAR.
So, open invitation went to all and OH...
had almost 200 people visiting me in 3 days!!1
That was way beyond my expectation.
The plan is to continue this every month ,once , and go on and on and on...
You can see how happy the visitors are, how engrossed and how creative.
None of them had done any clay work before but they created masterpieces.
Any one with any other IDEA???

Hi Everyone

Resolution at the last month of the year, BLOG REGULARLY!!!!
OK, wonder where I should start as I have travelled a lot in last six months and have loads of stories to tell. May be I should start with today and then go back 6 months,covering present and past simultaneously.
last whole week is been cleaning, reorganising the studio, and a lot has been achieved. Shifted the kiln in the extreme right corner,and VOW, so much space!!
It will be fun to work with so much more space. Also I can host a larger group in "OPEN HOUSE"

Yes, there is an open house at my garden studio,potters place, on the 17th,18th and 19th of December,any time between 10.30am to 6 pm.All of you, potters and others are welcome to enjoy the ambiance,play with clay, create,try the wheel.... .......no cost,JUST COME.
Like the Idea?? then come over,lets have fun and forget the mundane  day to day routine.

Now the past,in the month of July we had a family get together at Lake Tahoe, everything around us was like a picture postcard. the shades of blue,green and their combinations you see with pure emerald!!! Its beyond words!!
We did have a great time,
more to come soon,see you at the open house.
