Well, Bowl Me Down!
Class Experience:
I did complete a bowl.
I did complete a bowl with a thick bottom.
That didn't ‘bottom out’ when taken off the wheel.
That didn't fall out of my hands and squish on the floor after
successfully taking it off the wheel.
That didn't get taken out of my hands and thrown at the wall by my
jealous classmates.
In fact, I completed TWO bowls, a big one and a small one.
Are they top-notch pieces of pottery?
No. Are they a significant step forward in my pottery making skills?
Yes.
Are they manifestations of positive self-affirmations, intention, and
four weeks of hard work at the wheel?
Yes.
What else?
They're a symbol of humility and good humor.
Now they get to dry out for a week.
Trimming is next. (© 2005 Chris Dunmire) •
