Gary Jackson: Fire When Ready Pottery
A Chicago potter’s somewhat slanted view of clay & play
Categories: classes, lillstreet

Tonight was the first night of the new Summer Session of classes at Lillstreet Art Center.
My beginning wheelthrowing students seem to be a little more “advanced” than normal.
Generally it’s a bunch of people who are pretty “new” to clay and are looking for a fun hobby
with a few returning beginners sprinkled in. Apparently not this time.

Should I be concerned that on the list of project requests from my “beginners” was a teapot?!
Or the birdfeeder?! What?… in a beginning wheelthrowing class?! Really?! Beginners?!!!

We’ll see… you know how I love a challenge!!!
