Clockwork workshop #1, Morning

May 22, 2006 09:04

There were *handwaved* announcements posted, announcing that the Workshop would be in the back of Sparky Repairs.

Agatha looked over the students she had. Ok, there were only two of them, but her smile was still a bit nervous.

“Hey guys. As you may or may not know, my name is Agatha Clay.” She smiled again. “You may call me Agatha though. Please write your names down on the attached attendance sheet, so I know who you guys are. Also, if you could tell me a bit about what sort of mechanical knowledge you already have, that would be cool.”

"Today we are going to spend the next few hours talking about what a Clock is. Please take a look at your handout and at this picture of a Peacock Clock. It is on display at the Hermitage in the Russian Federation.

To better understand a thing, you have to take the thing apart. In front of you is a variety of mechanical clocks. Take them apart, see what's inside.”

Agatha smiled again and handed them each a handout, an image and a box of clocks. Some were old, some were new and some were clearly made by Agatha herself.
