Totally! I learned to use as little water as possible but who could argue with that.

There's just something about it being a simple, beautiful jar with a top that fascinated me. Without the top, it wouldn't have impressed me that much. Ooooh, but I would love to have one of those.

Lovely. I have fond memories of the pottery wheel. I was a gawky, clumsy little girl who was always picked last for kickball (whine whine)...and my wonderful 4th grade teacher used to take pity on me and look the other way when I ditched recess to go play with clay on the wheel in the art room.

Messed around with this is HS, been thinking of taking a class, but it's one class that fills up fast.

That was amazing to watch. He made it look deceptively easy.

I took a pottery class once. Tried the wheel several times, couldn't get the hang of it and had clay all over the place. Made several ceramic serving trays instead. They were easy, just had roll out clay, put on some edges, handles and the firing and glaze. Sold them a each for nice penny at an art show, too.

Please, I almost came watching that. He swabbed it out and let it hang for 24 - you in some kinda rush?

I want to build a homemade brick kiln in my yard and make handmade tile.. just like your serving trays, tile is fairly easy to do and creativity is limited only by one's imagination... I also really love fusing glass.. I took a seminar on that once and really want to get into that also.. [:)]

The agency I work for (I was once a client there) has an art studio and classes in pottery, painting, fused glass, jewelry making and other stuff. It's open to the public due to the type of funding they get and if I had the time I'd be going there still. Unfortunately, all of the interesting classes are during my work hours and the only clients who go to the studio have been going so they do it independently and I can't justify going with them long-term, more's the pity.
