Pottery

I picked up pottery as a hobby the summer of 2019. I decided that I wasn't getting any better at my hobby at the time, bowling. So I quit my bowling league and signed up for pottery classes. At that point I exclusively did handbuilding.

When COVID shutdowns started, they temporarily closed the pottery studio that I go to. It was only closed for a little while. I was still going into the office every day, so I didn't feel comfortable being in the enclosed space of the studio without worrying about the possibility of getting COVID and passing it on to the other studio members. So, I didn't go back until April 2021 after I received my second round of the vaccine.

Once I got back into the studio, I picked up classes to learn how to do wheel throwing. Now I do a combination, but so far I think handbuilding is still my favorite.
