September 25 2011 marked the first ex-pat meetup that I attended, organised by Melissa of wanderlust. When the pottery was collected, we were I formed that something wonky had happened resulting in an unusual pattern of bubbles and crackling in the slip. The owner offered for us to repainting something of the same value, and as you can imagine we had no hesitation there.
Painting, drawing, anything with colour- it’s such a relaxing process. Nothing says “unwind” quite like a zone-out session of creativity.
With my mint tea and our various plans to further explore this foreign land in which we live, I felt like it was the perfect way to spend a Sunday afternoon, particularly after the lunch crowd left and we had a bit more elbow room.
I’m excited to see our finished projects. Here they are pre-kiln.
Want to paint your own cow, vase or other tidbit (I was particularly taken by the elephant piggy bank)?

I’m so sad I didn’t get to go to that. It looks like you ladies had fun. Crafting is never a bad idea.
