In the mean time, while I chew over where to attack the exhibition work next, I have been joyfully churning out beautiful bowls!  They really are a most pleasant distraction and I am loving the way they look all massed on my encyclopaedia cabinet.  Yes - we actually have a set of encyclopaedias.  From the 1950s!  Every now and again, just for the fun of it, I suggest that one of the kids look up the info they need for a school assignment - "old school".
