How exciting!?
I had my first ceramics class this morning. The instructor gave an introduction to the course and we talked about clay and the steps in the process. He gave us our first two assignments and most of the class left. The three of us that stayed went straight to work on the wheels. I got 3/4's of the way through making a cylinder before I needed some help. The instructor walked me through the last step, but I think it's going to require a lot of practice.
Fun stuff! Messy... but fun!
