Just finished experiencing my very first pottery workshop.
Was quite enjoyable. Especially when there's time to kill and still tons of clay left.
I doubt any have the structural integrity to last more than a day, but maybe the end product of a future workshop I'll get the firing done for usage or decoration.
This was nice and new.
Had a bit of a snail theme going, which I hadn't initially planned.
Up first I made a snail with a cup for shell.
Then two shells.
Then a hand (just cuz).
Then a ring (the hand belongs to a married man).
Finally, on the potter's wheel, a glass. With an expert handholding through it. Simple, but most likely to see use.
Learnt there were 3 kinds of basic pottery methods.
Don't remember their names, but I refer to them as The Thumb Process, The Rolling Pin, and The Clay Snake.
Thank you for this and . It was a time well spent.
