Have any of you ever had to take a ridiculous class. I’m not talking about a class with a weird teacher or a class that was just outa this world. My first semester of my fresh men year I too ceramics and naussu community college. Everything about this class was weird
Here was a group of fully grow adults playing with clay the class that sticks out in my mind the most was the first day we used “the wheel” up until this point was able to keep up with the teachers expectations my “art” was never good I managed bs and cs all until I had to use the wheel. I had seen the wheel on tv before and it looked easy and the teacher explained it perfect so I wasent worried until I sat down. I turned on the wheel and plaes my clay on it the next step is to put a little water on the clay so it slides through your hands and spins so you can shape it. I did not put enough water. It is also recomanded that you start at a slow speed. Unfortunately I am a huge fan of the phrase live life in the fast lane I slammed on speed control and stared watch the clay spin I grabbed on and started to try and shape my clay the next thing I know I launch the clay a good 20 ft into the wall it was bad news… I never quite learned to master the wheel
