There's a bit to talk about, but not really much.
I've past my reading phase, I've past my gaming phase, I've now circled back to my Netflix binging phase. Anyway.
Today I went to the ceramics workshop again. The workshop's planning is really abysmal. If you have advertised that certain days are for the open workshops, then keep that schedule. And if anything ad hoc comes up, say something.
So today I was all ready to start on a new piece, but when I went there, they said they very last-minute got a particular workshop for 30 people. So they asked me to work in another room. Which was fine, really, but then, when you are offering an open workshop and people pay by the hour there, and you supposedly provide certain tools to people for the open workshop... then don't use those tools as something else.
Basically I needed to use this slab making tool to make slabs. They used it as a table!
So actually I couldn't do what I originally went there to do, if I only knew how to use the slab. Luckily, I learnt the original way (making slabs by hand) so I was still able to start on a new piece. But had I had access to the slab machine it'd be heaps easier to do and faster.
Anyway, I previously took the dog home to color it at home, and this other cat is supposedly dry enough to go into the kiln. Fingers crossed!
Going to fly out to Seoul next week for work. So supposedly was to return on Saturday, but I figured since staying another day did not affect the flight price, and all I had to do was pay an extra hotel night for myself, so I decided to do so. So I will have one free day in Seoul. Not sure what I plan to do. I'm not too familiar with South Korea. I'd probably just stay in Myeongdong as the language intimidates me (don't understand it and can't even read it).
If anyone has any suggestions, I'm all ears!
