“After slamming my clay on the wheel (perhaps too hard), I tried to remember what Megan said about using my whole body strength to keep the clay centre as the wheel spins. It was tough! [...] I managed to get my clay into a (very phallic looking) cylinder, and then it fell off-kilter. Once your clay falls off centre, it’s pretty much shot! I ended up with more than a few phallic shapes, and the woman next to me suggested it was a sign I had something on my mind! We laughed as I placed my sad, droopy objects into the “used clay” pile.”

“After 4-5 failed attempts at trying to make a shape, I felt defeated. With only 20 minutes left in the workshop, I was scared that perhaps I would go home without anything to put in the kiln [...] She corrected my posture and gave me pointers on cupping the spinning clay in my hands. I finally managed to keep it centred as Brooke guided me. Just as we were instructed to pack up, I created a little shape! What? I didn’t care. I made something!”

“I managed exactly ZERO pieces. I had a great time but I just couldn't figure it out! I got the clay centered but making it wider and especially taller was an enigma and any time I got something bowl-like, I'd cave it in on itself when I tried to even out the walls.”
