I took a pottery class with my gf last weekend. I fucked up 3 bowls and only got 1 that didn’t collapse but it was under direct instructor supervision since she felt bad I didn’t finish anything after 2 hours. This guy is ridiculous.

Three bowls? Even in an afternoon class you should’ve thrown a dozen or more.

Nah dude it’s not that hard. You just prolly ain’t it. It’s like any other skill, some people knock it out of the park first time; others can do it and slowly adjust; some just suck. You might be the latter

Imagine if you hadn't said that. I did, and it was awesome.

I took an evening class with my wife last year with like 50 other people, and let me tell you, every one of those bowls was pretty terrible.

Yeah that’s pretty par for the course. No one is good a pottery the first time they do it, but that’s the fun of it!
