My friend and I met up at the midpoint between Chicago and Alaska for a weekend in Seattle without the kids. We were greeted by Elizabeth's ceramic studio assistant, Paul. We were greatly appreciative of Elizabeth helping to arrange some time working with the potters wheel and clay. It was a good time to slow down and learn a new skill. Paul was a patient teacher.
The loft was the perfect place. Although my friend is tall, she did not have any issues navigating around the sloped ceiling of the loft. The towels and linens were all in place and the space was prewarmed for our arrival on a damp day. Everything we needed was there, including an electric tea kettle and noncaffeinated tea. We enjoyed a lovely cup of tea after a dinner out. The Ballard neighborhood was new for us and we enjoyed how easy it was to navigate.
