Hey Michael, I saw an advertisement for a pottery workshop next month. It looks really interesting!
Oh, really? A pottery workshop? That sounds pretty cool. I've always wanted to try making something with clay.
Me too! It's an introductory class, so no experience needed. They'll teach you how to throw on a wheel and hand-build. Plus, it includes all materials and firing.
That's great! When is it, and where?
It's on Saturday, October 15th, from 10 AM to 1 PM, at the Community Art Center. I was thinking of signing up, and it would be fun if you wanted to come too!
Hmm, October 15th... I think I'm free that day. How much is it?
It's $75 per person. A bit pricey, but for three hours with an instructor and all materials, I think it's worth it. We could create some cool stuff!
You know what? I'm in! Let's do it. It'll be a nice break from work and a fun way to get creative.
Awesome! I'll send you the link to register. We should sign up soon before it gets full.
Perfect. Thanks for telling me about this, Sarah!
