On December 17, 2022, we had a wonderful party in the Fireside Room, just across from our Ceramic Studio. (Thanks to both Judy Russell and Fred Surh for the photos below!) To start things off, we were given a glass of champagne (or soda) and mingled for a while as we ate appetizers and sipped. Very pleasant. Then we were all seated at tables and chatted with our neighbors happily while we waited our turn to serve ourselves from the buffet. We played some games, including one in which we placed paper plates on our heads and drew "snowmen" on them with crayons (no looking allowed). The best one from each table came up front to show them off - lots of laughter ensued! All throughout the festivities we were serenaded by a pianist playing holiday and wintry tunes. After having dinner we played BINGO for prizes, as well. Kudos to Judy Russell, Mary Ann Stanley, Linda Mariano and Kathy Jepson for planning and executing the Holiday Party so well. We had lots of fun - HAPPY HOLIDAYS to all!

We had a lovely Holiday Party at the Event Center on December 10 - many thanks are due to Susan Kline, Judy Russell, CAC President Mary Ann Stanley, and many many others who volunteered their time and energy to make it so much fun!
We dressed up, we ate (and drank) very well, we played a game (Bingo!), sang (and acted out) holiday songs, were treated to to a unique & marvelous folk concert (by CAC member Doc King & cohorts) and had a raffle (with lots of prizes, big & small). Each CAC member received a special booklet as the CAC's gift, with 8 pages of wonderful essays about ceramics and life by Mel Bricker, our Club Correspondent to the Rossmoor News. (Note: the photos below, mostly taken by Patty Taylor, plus several taken by Barbara Wightman, are in no particular order.) We have a wonderful new window display for January, including a new Featured Artist, Caralee Cowen - come down and see! Here's a slideshow of photos from our party in December, which was a great success! Once we'd caught our breath after the Bazaar, we started getting busy again in November and December. Since the last post (below) the Ceramic Arts Club has had a class on making and using colored clay (i.e., white porcelain clay mixed with mason stains of various colors - see the last 2 photos below) as well as two classes on glazing techniques and an Open Studio. Our annual Holiday Party also happened last weekend - it was very well attended and a good time was had by all.
Meanwhile, quite a few of us are currently finishing projects that we hope to give as holiday gifts. Whew - soon it will be a new year! Time flies, as they say, when you're having fun (and we are). |
