Independent Study 

What are my goals? 

My goals for this semester of of wheel throwing is to produce plates, bowls, and mugs. My goals also include keeping my motivation, sometimes I tend to get frustrated when I fail at things, and I expect lots of failure, specifically in the first few weeks. It's also a goal of mine to enjoy this semester, find a new hobby, learn a skill I can share with others, and also just have a bit of an outlet, espcially during the fall which tends to be a hard time in terms of balancing life and sports and work and homework. 

What excites me about learning pottery?

I'm just super excited to learn all about the process, this process as a whole is pretty ancient and it's just so cool to be learning the same skill that people thousands of years ago were also learning, granted today I have an electric wheel, many colorful and fun glazes, and a specialized kiln.
