Many Years Ago Back In High School In the Art room was a Potters wheel sitting in the corner collecting dust.
The Art teacher was ant artist and not a Potter, so the wheel was not being used. One day I asked the teacher if I could use the wheel. I had never done pottery before So I got some clay and started. I went to the library and took out books on ceramics and throwing on the wheel. When I started throwing on the wheel a lot of the other Art students became interested and wanted to learn how to throw. The Art teacher saw how good I was at it She asked me to teach others how to throw on the wheel and work with clay.
I was hooked .When I graduated I went to an art college to study ceramics . Lot of things happened in the family and I had to leave college and take care of the bumps in life.
I finally got back into ceramics a few years later bought a Kiln and a Randell wheel and started making pottery for art shows and flee markets.
Life chained again had to put pottery in the corned again . I kept my wheel and kiln that I set up in my home today . I'm slowly digging it out of the corner because my son is learning pottery and im re-hydrating some 50 year old clay for him to use
