I am not a teacher. I have been throwing 1.5 lbs to 2 lbs for the last 4 years. However, weekly only for 1 year. I have done porcelain, red clay, and grey clay and my biggest challenge: dark granite clay. I didn't realize that clay has so many properties. I went to fall classes to our local rec centre and we used the same clay I don't even know the name. At the rec centre, the interst is for you to have a good time.
In my case, with Covid and access to a great studio, I am now curious and challenged by all sorts of things. Things I didn't know existed or need to be considered. For me, your post then, is very very on point.
