Pottery


I have always loved hand-thrown pottery. There's just something so warm and personal about each piece. Last summer, I decided to take a pottery class at Genesee Center for the Arts. I've always wanted to try throwing my own pottery, and it was just as awesome as I'd hoped.

It was HARD. I was expecting to come out of the class with misshapen lumps of clay, but the instructor was really helpful and managed to coax great work out of everyone. I LOVE the pottery I made in that class, and I use a lot of it on a daily basis. My dad just bought a kiln to supplement the pottery wheel he bought a few years ago, and I'm excited to try it again!

Here are some other pieces I made:
