I have made about four things in my pottery class that I’m happy with. I’ve also added a lot of clay to the recycling bucket. Individually, each piece is wonky and odd-looking, but as a set, it’s actually quite pretty.  Naturally, I gravitated towards porcelain white with Cycladic blue designs, (splodges, stripes, spirals) and the forms –– small bowls and plates –– are in line with my level of experience. When I think back to my first bowl on the wheel, and I look at what I’ve made to date, I’m quite satisfied. It’s a wonderful thing to take up a hobby, where there are no expectations and the only goal is only to enjoy yourself.
