Welcome to LJ’s…and congrats on busting through the “wood ceiling”...as a high school teacher (and part of that corrupt bureaucracy—-dang I cant evn spell it)...I often tell “kids”...when you get to college…take AT LEAST one class for exploration each semester…something that has nothing to do with your “intended” major…and you will get soooo much more out of your college experience—-no to mention life…for me in college it was photography…and I wanted to take ceramics soooo bad and regret never getting around to it…
Good luck with your venture into the shop..and most importantly life…maybe your story will get my wife into the shop with me more…thanks for sharing your story and hope to see your progress in the shop!
LJ’s is truly a great place to share and learn!

Minneapolis is a great area for supporting the arts.
I have had some good conversations with women regarding shop oriented arts. Many are intimidated by the machinery and the “weight” of things. This is a bit of a shame because women seem to have a better sense of design.
Love your spirit about it all.

Thanks everyone! I get so excited about this site because I can see all the endless possibilities out there. I almost get overwhelmed checking out what people have created. It’s like my imagination has been set on fire! I also love the positive nature of this community. Everyone is very encouraging, and that’s really cool. Also cool to see other moms out there. So many fantastic opportunities.
