Whistling Sea Otters - Amusement Park & Bella Ceramica - July 29 2014

Today we enjoyed a nice sunny day taking in the rides at the Pacific National Exhibition's Playland Amusement Park. We started by going on the fifty-year old wooden rollercoaster, twisting and turning upside down. Later, some of our students  played some games, while others took in rides like the bumper cars, a tilting spinning ride, and the Ferris Wheel.After a BBQ supper, we spent two hours painting at Bella Ceramica, a ceramics studio in North Vancouver. We all put a lot of work into our mugs which will be put in the kiln and come out beautifully glazed in a few days. It's definitely an artsy group, with a lot of Canada memories imprinted on some mugs, while others took on themes of abstract art, juxtaposing textures, and pop culture icons.[AFG_gallery id='202']
