Do you enjoy taking classes? You seem to find them hard work... Is it teaching or making your own artwork which you enjoy the most?

Sometimes I enjoy them but mostly I enjoy making stuff. Unfortunately I make more money with the classes.

Are there classes you prefer to teach? Could you train H up to take some of the classes? What about students from the uni you attended?

There are some I don't mind taking and my friend Max is taking 4 of the classes are week to give me resting time. The one class I really don't like taking is the group for the disabled. J has been taking this but she is away till June so Max has been covering when she can. However she works full time and can only do every other week. I think this week we will have to break it to them that there will be no class for 3 weeks. There will be a lot of grumbles. I would rather not have J back teaching after what happened but don't see an option. H said we should discontinue the group but it's a lifeline for the members, and chance to get out of their four walls, meet others, have a laugh and a cuppa and play with mud I don't know if could cope with the guilt!
Hope is gaining confidence with working with the classes but her anxiety would not let her go solo at the moment. I am hoping that with time she will.

Can I ask why you don't like teaching the disabled group?
It's great you have Max who can help out. I wish there was something different I could suggest to help....

Yes I can understand teaching the disabled group could be taxing but it must give you immense satisfaction you've given them a couple of hours of laughs, chat, fun and a brew.

Mike that's Why I don't want to close it.

I can totally understand that. What about asking for volunteers from your local volunteer bureau for that class? Maybe some of the others too? You might then be able to help someone and get help yourself?

I dont run it. Max runs it with a number of volunteers from my pottery classes. I just find it too stressful to run. One of the members told me he wanted Max to stay and said he did not want J back. I don't know if he was serious though he is a bit of a jester. J will be back running it middle of June.

Sounds like Max is a keeper for the business!
