For those of you who were just dying to see my pottery, I give you my first masterpieces. I know what you’re thinking, they are beyond words. I’ll learn how to glaze tomorrow night, so all these pieces you see will be even more beautiful and you all will be rendered speechless.

Let’s see let’s call these spittoon 1, spittoon 2, and not quite a vase.

And this one I almost spun off into my neighbors wheel, but I saved it and then pinched the top to make it look like a pitcher instead of the mistake, uh, I mean, I meant to do that, it was my plan all along, it’s art you know, it doesn’t have to be perfect, uh, I mean, it’s perfect.
Look at those things in the background. I think I’m doing okay. And no, I’m not going to admit that a child made those, lets just pretend that everything you see is made by adults.
So here is my pitcher and spittoon 3. And to the mom who gets to display the ashtray with finger holes and ashtray blob there in the background, God bless you.

Oh, by the way, Mom, Rechelle, Dad, Clay and other unsuspecting relatives reading this blog…. Merry Christmas!

Since my beloved is named Clay I feel really stupid saying things like;

-I need more Clay.
-I have Clay all over my hands.
-Close your eyes and feel the Clay.
-My Clay is dry.
-How much Clay should I use?
-Do you prefer red Clay?
-I made an arch with my Clay.

But, I guess if I’m going to be the next greatest potter in the world then I’ll just have to learn to love two Clays and not feel weird about it.

Total pots that resemble spittoons made to date: 3
Other things that could hold a bunch of flowers, but shouldn’t be described as a vase: 7

Last night was my first pottery class. It made me happy. I came home and googled a bunch of videos and watched how other people throw and that’s when I came across the three minute teapot. I’ll be making vases, ashtrays, pencil holders and q-tip holders for awhile, but someday I’m going to bring home a teapot. Yep.
