<b>1.</b> I like to smack it into a ball first (sometimes I imagine the lump as someone's head) before the big smack on the wheel. heh. Really, I'm not a violent person.<br><br><b>2.</b> I dunno, but after a week alone with Al (the moody co-worker who needs his hand held constantly when we're the only 2 in the dept) it sure helps me blow off steam and re-focus. And not rip his actual head off.<br><br><b>3.</b> Yes. I have a studio in my basement. The kiln is out in the garage. Brotherleenie is an engineer and built me a wheel with left over shop parts. It's all stainless and the motor is big enough that if I was capable I could throw 400lbs of clay on it. Why he thought I'd need that much power I don't know. (It runs on 220.)<br><br>
I throw pots at a community studio a couple times a month too, more to keep in touch with potter friends than that I need the studio space.<br><br>
The kiln I fired yesterday was full of tiles so I can test glazes. My goal is to get a bunch of stuff made in time for the spring opening at my friend's gallery, and also a sale a group of potter friends hold.

No, it's not. Throwing is a skill. Which is why it makes me laugh when I get an audience at the community studio. The newer people watch me throw big stuff and then expect they'll be able to just get on a wheel and go. Uh... not so much. But they don't know that I learned how to throw in high school, or that I majored in art in college, or that i've been throwing <i>a lot</i> for the last...13 years. Plus I'm a weenie anal perfectionist about such things and always look for ways to improve my pots. <img alt="biggrin.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/biggrin.gif">

I have another friend that is good at most anything.....a master craftsmen. He got really frustrated with potting. I'm glad he moved on to cooking classes instead.....he's a good cook now too.<br><br>

All this throwing talk makes me wanna get my hands dirty. I wonder if I have spare scrubs I could wear to a studio...<br><br><br>
Oh, and my nails are super short from the guitar. I could totally manage right now. <b>Katholeenie,</b> it would be my honor to throw with you. I'm going to look up classes or a studio right. now.
