Once we got to the Bauhaus, things started to get weird. Everybody seemed cranky, including the staff members. I was in a great mood, but I think that all of the students were just worn out, exhausted, and ready to go home. I did enjoy the time we spent at the Bauhaus, I found everything so interesting. I thought the tour was going to be a lot longer, but I'm glad we got to experience the practical workshop. It was a cool concept that the staff wanted us to experience a similar thinking process as some of the designers from the early Bauhaus years; it was a minimalistic and economical approach. It was supposed to be functional, cheap, and long lasting. I think mine pretty much fit all the criteria. I nailed it. I had so much fun making the teapot and the teacup, it took me a little bit to get some ideas of how I was going to approach it, but once I had it, I was in the zone!
After some allergic reaction issues with one of the students, a large portion of the group started getting even more cranky and impatient. That changed once we continued with the tour to the chocolate shop. I still can't believe we experienced one of the most famous chocolate shops in Germany. Yohannes Eaton did a fantastic job at designing it and I feel honored to have stepped foot in it!
After the chocolate shop, we went back to the hotel and I napped for an hour before dinner. I really needed it. Although I am excited for Italy, I am looking forward to going back to the US, where I will sleep for a consecutive 24 hours. It will be amazing- just as amazing as this journey that I have been on these last few weeks. I have learned so much about myself and the world, this trip has done amazing things for me. It has sparked my wanderlust.
I will be returning to Europe very soon!
