The past couple of days have been busy, but good overall. Yesterday I had my first Studio Assistant meeting, followed by a work day in the studio. I met Lisa, the studio coordinator and she gave me a quick tour of the studio and answered any questions that I had. I cleaned all of the tabletops and surfaces, vacuumed the studio, and greeted Bryan (the instructor) when he arrived.
Observations about yesterday:
a) I have forgotten more about operating a letterpress than I had thought 
b) The food at Penland is some of the best I’ve ever had
c) I love my bedroom
d) I’m nervous—but excited—about the work that I’ll be making!
We all had a good dinner, and then played a game of ping pong and met some more folks. Bryan is staying in a nice little cabin with a screened in porch, so I grabbed my box of wine and a few of us got acquainted over at his place.
It’s been raining ALOT. At least I brought the right amount of rain gear. I’m nervous about getting the class started (and about my lack of knowledge), but hopefully it will all come back to me once the classes start moving along. That’s what I’ll tell myself, anyway!
