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?!
