Ceramics Class at the Randall Museum (Sundays In My City)
This actually happened on a Saturday. The Randall Museum has drop-in ceramics classes that cost all of $6. It’s possible that I had more fun than my kids had and they had a lot of fun. That wonky looking turtle above is my creation. It’s not perfect, but I love it! San Francisco, CA. I […]
