Session 3 comes to a close

Next Thursday will be my last session (for this session). The session ran for 10 weeks. I thought it was at least 11, but I was mistaken. I have learned a great deal this time around. I've learned how to wedge my clay properly by using a rolling "skull" technique that a substitute instructor, Laura taught me during my second week.
I've gotten a little better at centering and I have also become more brave about using more clay to make larger pieces.
I have not been so productive this time around. I've only thrown maybe 10 or so pieces.
I didn't take any pictures this time around, but last night I glazed at least three pieces and they should be interesting after they are fired.
Dick worked with me a lot last night on trimming. He taught me about how to make the rim of the bottom level (or flat as the wheel). I began to understand the importance of trimming and how I can improve the final touches of my pots by a good trimming techniques.
I am also more motivated to check out this creative clay shop that everyone keeps talking about off of Edsall Rd.
I've missed Peggy since she's been out of the country. She missed 3 weeks total. I also think that she registered for the Sunday class this time around and not the Thursday night. :(
