We were expecting a few people for our wire wrapping craft
class but much to our surprise our class overfilled and we had to turn away
some disappointed people. Still there were nine students that signed up and so we
arrived early on Tuesday, planning on an extremely busy morning.
The students all picked out their stones and I explained the
wire and soon all was quiet except for the snip of wire cutters. Everyone
smiled, as we expected, when we showed them the magic of a pin vise and how it
works, (it twists the wire into reflecting facets).
Carefully I watched the clock and tried to make sure that we
would finish on time as several of our students entertained the group with
jokes. Scott B told the funniest dirty joke and said that the Escapade would
not let him tell it on stage. As the students worked Renita and I were
constantly moving and so the morning sped by quickly.
Too quickly in fact as the class went over and we had to hurry
to clean the space as the next instructor was about to show up for setup. Most
of our students finished but we did schedule a makeup class for Thursday
morning and we checked out tools for them to take to their rvs to finish up.
We decided that the next time we teach this class at an
Escapade we will offer two classes and make them smaller. Still the class
worked out, and for us anyway, the best thing was that we made new friends.
That of course is what the Escapade is all about. So we would like to end this
entry with a special thank you to all of our students! Clear skies
