nwr - hobbies? ceramics anyone?

ok so ive been feeling kinda blah lately and i think its because i need to start doing more things that interest me ...

i dont really see to many of MY friends anymore, most live out of state so we always hang out with FH's friends (who are my friends too) but you know what i mean ...

i dont really play sports anymore and they were always a HUGE part of my life...

ive been in this funk for a while and its starting to bring me down in every aspect of my life! anyone else feel this way?

ive decided to try and do something for myself, something that interests me, will make me happy! in college i took some ceramics classes and i FELL IN LOVE with it. i was always artsy in HS - mainly mixed medias, oils, acrylics etc. Ceramics is a blast and its so rewarding.

Has anyone thoought about taking classes at night? Like ceramics, pottery, photo etc? I found a place in Dix Hills call the Art League of Long Island and they offer hundreds of classes! Would anyone be interested in classes this fall?

thanks for listening to my rant i just really need to make some changes in life - to start enjoying everything more and i think this would be a great outlet/destressor!

there is a ceramics class that meets Monday nights, 645-945 ... its 9 classes total for about $300! starts middle sept!

i LOVE ceramics.. but unfortunately with this wedding i have no money for such luxuries plus i live in Bklyn with no car... man am i a loser or what????????

i dont have that much excess $$ either, but im loosing my mind ... i need to do something besides work, sleep, clean, cook, sleep, work etc.

oh and besides wedding planning which can drive a girl nuts on its own

I how you feel, I'm actually in a very similar situation. I love crafts, but cannot afford $300 especially since we will be closing on a house hopefully within the month. I would definitely hang out if the price wasn't too high though

that sounds like so much fun.. i wanna gooo

i live in north bellmore ... google it, even continuing ed classes at most colleges offer self defense classes ... try nassau cc, suffolk cc etc.

I would love to do something productive fun....I used to work at a ceramics shop....even if we bought fired pieces at AC Moore/Michaels and got together to paint...that's cheaper (we know we all have coupons!) and fun too!

Buy a piece and paint, bring an appetizer/dish....a crafty party!

i would do it- but i have absolutely nooooo artistic ability! i still cant even color in the lines!

thats such a good idea!!

i wish there was a way we could get fired pieces, then we could glaze and raku and then take them somewhere to fire them! thats the best part, to see what they look like after firing!!!
