Another Friday, another session on the pottery wheel.

Eventually I’m going to be able to do something really cool with this stuff.  For now, I’m positively gleeful that I can make a half-decent serving bowl:

These are a fair bit bigger than the 3 bowls I threw last week, and I did a much better job of trimming the bottoms before they came off the wheel.  My goal is to some day make something which my mom (an accomplished potter in her youth) can look at and honestly say it’s good.  Not that she doesn’t tell me everything I do is wonderful, but I’d like to feel like she’s not just being a good mom

Next week I’ll be glazing the three bowls I threw last week, so expect an update with more photos.
