10th Annual Lakeshore Harvest Country - Road Rally Saturday, JULY 22nd
Visit www.lakeshoreharvestcountry.com for details about this
rollicking ride through Lakeshore Harvest Country. It's not a race!
Rally participants carefully navigate back roads to visit farms and
other notable destinations. Everyone celebrates with refreshments at the
final stop, and a trophy for the winning team! Pre-registration is
encouraged.
|
 To
mask off areas on a Raku pot to achieve clean lines, use car pin
striping. It adheres to the pottery and is stretchy and flexible around
the curves. The flexibility of the tape makes all the difference for
clean lines, masking tape does not do well on the curves of a vase.
