Babyboomer - 72 years old with 16 grandkids, all quite young. They inspire me and make me joyful. After being an art major at U of IL, and deciding the entire rest of the world was better than me, I developed a professional writing career for 4 decades. Ten years ago, I found an amazing pottery teacher and became a prolific ceramicist. Then I found The Virtual Instructor and in a few months, they straightened out my attitude and skill issues, and I am drawing and painting things that make me very happy. Big thanks for these awesome classes. I own HandbuildersMonthly.com - a site for clay people.
