Five weeks ago, I started a new course for wheel Pottery. I have spent many a week hand building, which I love, but throwing pots on the wheel is something I only tried briefly about twenty years ago and I wasn’t very good at it.
So I joined a new class which has many wheels and a fabulous teacher and last week I think it all clicked into place. I can now throw a pot, not the exact shape or size I want, but throw it I can. So far in my five weeks (which totals fifteen hours) I have thrown six pots. Three of which have been fired and are awaiting glazing, two I trimmed today and one is hardening. I have also made several stamps for my initials on the bottom of the hand building pieces that I haven’t created yet.
Anyway, I’m having a ball at Pottery. Next weeek I will be glazing and trimming and throwing more pots hopefully.
