Spent this week back in Red Deer taking a beginner wheel throwing class with Shirley Randall. A productive week. Made 29 pieces. Got 12 pieces done for a raku workshop I’m going to do in October with Janice, 7 spoon rests, 6 trinket plates and 4 bird feeders! Got to use transfers and underglaze and Stroke and Coat. Throwing is physical and I am sore!
Useful things I gleaned were using denim bats, maintaining the rim and throwing at a slower speed. We had lots of time to practice. Between this and the lessons from Janice in May and June, I feel much more confident using the wheel now.
Another week well spent in Red Deer!
Whew! No wonder I’m tired (and sore!) 🥴😂
