I (Diana) am so proud of the work that my students create in our time together in the studio. I love these pictures (many of them are ones that they took and shared with me after going home): Elaine's Seder plate Olga's vases Olga's plate and inspiration (we had fun coming up with the words to use) Olga's tile project for a Ukrainian friend Olga's dish set Diana's fried egg plate and bowl in use in per neighbor friend's home Inspiration and final onion holder that Olga hand built Diana's little cup used for dipping cookies  (per sister Nancy recently shared this bit of joy) Marty's candle holder, lit up below Marty's wall hangings in use Marty's planter, a home at home Eri's planter with orchid from Olga flowering Diana's "hoodoos" making a friendly conversation with books in Eri's home Elaine's hugging heart bowls (made as a gift for a family member) Mia's colander made it home successfully (this took a lot of d...
