Scooby it sounds like you are ready for some college classes that are more structured, if you decide to go check into the program first and make sure it's what you want.

More advanced classes would have you work on platters and them move on to teapots ect. One throwing class we were given a picture of a piece, it's height and raw clay weight and you were to bring your best copy to the next class and it was recommended that you throw 15 to get a good selection. I hope this info helps. Denice

Frederik This fountain sounded like a waterfall the first time we turned it on, now we have it tuned down and it's a pleasant sound with very little splashing. I hope to get a better picture of it next spring, one with out the glare. I finished this around Thanksgiving and only had one day to run it before the freeze that night so we have it buttoned down for the winter. But I have more murals I can take pictures of and post. -
