I have begun a wrought iron course. There are many similarities between working wrought iron and knitting.
And for the first time I really understand negative space. It was a beautiful, ringing, 'aha!' moment.
I am also meta-learning. Every thing that happens I am observing myself and the others as learners and trying to apply it to how I could be better at teaching.
It is so lovely to be in a learning environment and not being the one responsible for it. At the same time, I can see that the strongest personalities have as much impact as the teacher on the class environment. So, is developing a good class dynamic that facilitates learning really just a crap shoot? Luck of the personalities draw?
I bought some lovely, lovely things from two stores on etsy. This one is for me, the rest I will show later, say, after Christmas.
