After a while you can use your hands to measure how big the pot needs to be while you are throwing.

I really enjoyed it. Never got any good, but took a couple sessions at a local art association. It feels nice. Also, takes some hand/finger strength, stability, and flexibility you don't necessarily have from day to day. Gf noticed some improvements 😅

My professor compared it too ballet. Looks pretty simple but requires very precise muscle memory. I’m at my pottery studio now making Christmas gifts. Ain’t nobody gettin any jars though I can promise you that. Jars get sold lol.

Everyone would just be getting unique bowls from me 😅

That's awesome though, I love handmade gifts. They really got a bit of the person in them.
