Time Management

So I threw some cylinders today 4 will be mugs when complete with handles and 1 salsa bowl. Its been over a year since I've been at the wheel..felt sooo good!! :) I've learned time management today..I noticed it took me a shorter time to throw 5 pieces then before. Also learned some much needed tips on how to make a good cylinder. To me a 1:1 instruction from a private pottery studio is much better than taking class at a community college where the class size is bigger. Once again I can't wait for my next class!!!..(however I did bring home a slab of clay for some hand-building)

 Pottery studio owners/teachers are busy people!!! They have alot to juggle..teaching students, supervising their hired help and creating their own work which consist of throwing, decorating, loading, unloading, glazing, more loading and unloading again all of this and more in between all the phone calls and the cat meowing outside the door. ^.^

First Day of Class

Yippee!!! I attended my first ceramics class of the year the other day. :) I have missed clay so much! So I did some Hand-building on my first day so I can familiarize myself with my new working environment. Well My teacher is very creative and I can see I will be learning many new techniques. I am eagerly anticipating my next class. I can't get enough of it...if I could afford to do it daily I would.
