Teach it and they will come . . .

At least I hope so. Big news I (David) will be teaching a beginning Ceramics class at the Firehouse Art Center here in Norman starting May 31st. I’m really excited to start teaching again, I really love teaching pottery. Before this opportunity I was thinking about offering private lessons through our studio in our garage, but I think this way is more practical (and it’s not in a garage, but a real studio!!). So if you know anyone who would like to take a ceramics class let them know that now’s the time! Here is a link to the ceramics page on the Firehouse website; it gives all the important information i.e. cost, times, and dates.

No Need to Knead

A couple of weeks ago our friend Andy came up to help us plant our garden, and he brought with him a wonderful recipe for bread. He then made us three loaves, and left us with two and a half. They were delicious; here are some pictures of the breads










There was an olive, white, and a wheat loaf. Since then I have made a couple more olive loaves and they were delicious as well. This post doesn’t have much to do with art but I haven’t done much art so there you go…

Garden Party II

Finally the garden has been planted!! It’s all very exciting. Our friend Andy came up form Dallas to help us plant everything, and he even showed us how to make an amazing no knead bread (more on that later). Here are a few pictures of our newly filled garden.





Update:
We lost a couple of plants due to very high winds and a little cold weather. We lost our pumpkin, watermelon, cantaloupe, a couple artichokes, and a pepper plant (I’m not sure which one). We have re-sown seeds directly into the ground in hopes that they will grow, we will see.
