The girls in the history department recently found a fun way to decompress and have some fun at the end of a long week - we go to a small shop in town and paint pottery! I've been twice. The first time I painted two coasters, and last week I painted a mug. It is really nice to be able to do something that isn't reading or researching every so often! This place is really neat too. They have all kinds of paint and glazes - so you can experiment with different looks. All the employees are really friendly and helpful. And even though I'm not very artistic, it's still a lot of fun, and somehow it's pretty hard to mess up. You do have to be careful though, sometimes the finished project looks completely different from how it looks before it's fired. Anyway, everyone's Christmas gifts might be handmade by yours truly this year. :)
