When I first took pottery classes I tried to learn to throw on a pottery wheel. But it was hard. Kicking that wheel around made me sweat. It wasn't until ten years later, when I was destroying some rejects, that I really learned to throw a pot.

I took these pictures in 1982 and they were published in Studio Potter Magazine in 1983 (Vol 13, #1, page 88). Now I can't find the originals and only have the magazine page to show you.

By the way, Studio Potter is the best pottery magazine in the world. To find out more about it go to http://www.studiopotter.org/
