Scanning this year's daytime course offerings at the Sportsplex, I came across the pottery class schedule - and decided (impulsively) to give it a try!
My first class, a few days ago, was a lot messier than I expected! It's a lot like playing in mud, so you need to dress accordingly! This is the wheel and basin when I was cleaning up. (My hands were too dirty and sticky to take pictures during class time!)
It took a lot of concentration to turn my first piece of clay into a cylinder - the object of lesson one. Amid the concentration, we closed our eyes to get the feel of the spinning clay. For a brief moment, I caught the thrill of it... Which is probably when I lost control... and ended up with this wonky creation!
Now I'm checking online to see how much used electrical pottery wheels cost! I want to practice - I can't wait till my next class!
