When someone took the gift Erna had chosen, she eyed the cross Pat Sabo made in pottery. Instead of taking it, however, she picked another gift bag. A Happy Potters member “stole” it. Now it was time for Erna to choose again. She took the cross, apologized to its temporary owner, and walked back to her seat smiling. The spirited gift exchange continued, part of the club’s Christmas celebration and quarterly meeting, which also included a luscious potluck dinner.

January begins with a glazing workshop and new member orientation. As always we look forward to meeting Robson Ranchers who like to play in the mud. We begin with a lump of clay and make masterpieces.
