Start of Term 2

For term 2 Helen and I have switched from Textile Design to Glass and Ceramics and I am SO EXCITED about it!  Yesterday we met Merja who will be one of our tutors, and she gave us some reading about ceramics to get us started.  Today we had a meeting with our new class and all the tutors, Merja, Maria, Irja and Jari, who all seem really nice!  We then had an afternoon session with Jari, but just had a tour of the different ceramic labs.  We will be doing hand building with him.  Tomorrow, we have a lesson back in Turo with Maria, who is one of the glass tutors.  Irja is also a glass tutor and Merja will be teaching us pottery wheel!  I'm feeling a lot more optimistic about this term, as everything we do will be new(ish) and exciting, whereas everything we did in textiles we had done many times before, and it got a bit mundane.  Bring on the work!
