Community Ceramics Class

My ceramics class is going great!  The first class was rough as I felt like I lost all of my previously gained skills.  After class four, I'm much more comfortable.  I've finished 3 pots, need to trim 4 more. 

I saw an awesome video on Youtube.com.  It was a wheel-throwing demo for an enclosed pot. Meaning the artist threw a pot, brought it up, closed it, and then separated the pieces when they were leather hard.  Not as easy as it seems.  My first attempt collapsed; I'll make more attempts next week. 

This is a community class and not at all graded.  So it's very relaxed, we work at our own pace, and just make what we feel like making.
