I want to do it all!! If only I had the time, space, and money!
I spent this weekend in Helen, Georgia with my parents. Helen is a cute little German town nestled in the foot hills of North Georgia. One of the great things about Helen is the surrounding areas are filled with artist, especially potters. Georgia has many artistic roots nestled into the red clay in the surrounding areas. Face Jugs have been a craft perfected in North Georgia over many years, and because of this Potters flock to this area.
There is a cute little pottery shop called Mark of the Potter that sits on the banks of the Chattahoochee River. Visiting this shop flood back memories of my time spent in a Pottery studio. I don't claim to be a master at the pottery wheel, but it sure is therapeutic. All I could think about all weekend is how I would love to take some more Pottery courses again, so that I can get back on that wheel.
Then we entered the next shop, one dedicated stain glass. Through out the shop were many different glass techniques. I had the chance to take a glass fusing class a few years ago, and loved the experience. In this shop all I could think of was buying a glass kiln and creating my own glass pieces. It did not help that my Dad worked with stain glass in the past, and was feeling the same bug to get back into a glass studio. I had to immediately come home and hang-up the glass plates I made a few years ago. It is finally time for them to be displayed!
How can I choose just one, when there are so many amazing art forms out there. Is it possible for me to do it all?
