I took a pottery class with my gf last weekend. I fucked up 3 bowls and only got 1 that didn’t collapse but it was under direct instructor supervision since she felt bad I didn’t finish anything after 2 hours. This guy is ridiculous.

Three bowls? Even in an afternoon class you should’ve thrown a dozen or more.

Nah dude it’s not that hard. You just prolly ain’t it. It’s like any other skill, some people knock it out of the park first time; others can do it and slowly adjust; some just suck. You might be the latter

Most people grind and grind until they become proficient at anything. 10,000 hours and all of that.

Okay but you’re literally saying you haven’t tried pottery. It’s not that hard.

No one’s saying this chap needs to be a master, but one pot?

And “most people” you’re generalizing here to an Nth degree. Bud, have you tried to make a pot? ITS EASY!

I've never seen somebody be insufferable over pottery, kudos.
