So I started pottery class last week (we meet once a week) and trying to center on the wheel is kicking my ass. Do you have any advice for an absolute beginner?
well, you could do what I did and switch to handbuilding? 😅
I’m afraid I never got very proficient on the wheel. if you see wheel thrown pieces amongst my work, they were thrown for me by one of my studio partners (or they’re at least five years old)
the only advice I have that might be of any use is to give yourself time! you just started learning a difficult skill, and you’ll improve every time you throw something new
if any wheel throwers are seeing this, do you have any advice?
