I'm in a Christmas show that's put on yearly by our church, and I'm very very thankful that this is the last night it runs. It's fun, but seven hours straight of being a potter is tiring. No electric wheel, so the only way to do it is spin it with your foot while molding it with your hands at the same time...
Anyway, like I said, it is fun at the same time. Aside from the animals, all the little kids love to try and touch the clay while we work with it. And one of the guys makes some pretty intricate roses with the bits left over.
