I have had an avoidance commited relationship with wheel throwing in ceramics classes. It just frustrated me and was never my thing.....Well this semester I chose to take a begging wheel throwing class to finally learn how to use the pottery wheel so that I can go about teaching ceramics.
Tonight saturday I was throwing on the wheel not knowing what I was doing. Then I used the force and things started to make sense. All I needed the whole time was to have no hang ups and zero expectations about the process, but to just go with my intuition the same place in my creative soul that comes out of me when I draw and hand build. It feels very good to finally enjoy wheel throwing because I made it my own. That means I find my way and my own pace and flavor for how to do wheel throwing. I am interested in learning the basics of the wheel. I still am a sculptor first and forever with my ceramics hand building statues I make. yeeeaaa ceramics
