Cottage Grove art teacher Anna King participates blindfolded in a round of the Great Throw Down at the Workshop on Saturday, Aug. 6. At her right is her high school art teacher, the person who taught her how to mold clay, Tricia Schmidt of St. Paul who teaches at Central High. The two women signed up along with fellow art teacher Randy Schutt, who also teaches at Central High in St. Paul. He earned first place in the Great Throw Down. "I've never done anything like this before," said Schutt. "I loved it."
