Pottery - "turn over a new leaf daily"

I'm an old 61 yr old,
and I don't know the first thing
about ceramics.
However, I like the phrase
"turn over a new leaf daily."

In June, I started going to a
pottery studio. Most often,
I am there alone but all
the equipment, clays, and glazes
are available. I have a key to let
myself in and I just play.
I've never attempted the
wheel because no one is
there to supervise me,
besides I think I prefer
"hand building."

My most recent pieces are below,
they are still "green";
not yet been fired or glazed.
 
Writing in mud is
somewhat difficult.

Pottery Class

At Michelle's studio,
she is giving me lessons. 


 
 Here I am working on
a pot for my deck garden.
 
These are very elementary pieces
but creating sophisticated pieces
takes much experience. 


 
Marvin creates sophisticated pieces.
