Rex Johnson got a reaction from Pres in Beginning wheel throwing projects
My first instructor was well traveled in the orient and a believer in the discipline.
Our first assignment was to throw ten 10" cylinders of the same diameter.
If you cannot, then throw until you can.

Rex Johnson got a reaction from Rae Reich in QotW:When, where, what, or who influenced you to begin your journey into pottery? If you care to share: what was it exactly about pottery that drew your interest?
In JC I was immediately drawn to the feel of the clay, the tactile 'quality', and the process. I liked how I could manipulate clay into a 3D 'something'.
The relative immediacy made the effort rewarding in itself. Having endured painting and drawing, clay was actual fun.
I still feel the same way to this day.
Having said that, I was later drawn to glassblowing like a moth to...talk about immediacy!

Rex Johnson reacted to liambesaw in What’s on your workbench?
Got some jars and lids thrown, I was going to trim the ones I threw over the weekend but with typical Seattle 95% humidity and a light drizzle, nothing has hardened up one iota. Not even hard enough to alter the forms or decorate. Hate this time of year, everything gets put on slow mo. Gonna try to clear out some shelves so I can at least carefully free up some bats.
