My first semester of college, I took a pottery class.  I loved it so much!  I gave away most of the stuff I made and I've lost or broken the rest.  The bowl above, named Fish Bowl, is in my father's possession.  He actually uses it!  I was having fun with slips and colors.  I liked trying to get a nice marbled look to the colored patterns.

My favorite piece from the class was a small fluted vase (it's long gone ... ).  I'd been trying to make a fluted vase (similar to this shape) on the wheel for days, but I kept popping off the top every time I would pinch in the top to make the fluted edge.  The day I made this particular vase, the electricity went out in the building at the moment when the vase was perfect and saved me from ruining it.  How awesome is that?!
