Looks like fun. I took a pottery class about 14 years ago at the community college. I needed another art class and the girl I was chasing at the time did a lot of pottery stuff. Had fun with it but not really good at it. Maybe I was a little to distracted at the time.

JUST HAPPENED TO HAVE THAT FIRE BOTTLE...........handy, then the fire dept showed up. without that one in the pic, i might be livin in the shop))))))))))))))

Hey OP, I had a friend, who has since past away, that lost his left arm in a
pug mill. He taught himself to throw pots with one hand.

I thought smoking weed was a requirement for working with clay.

I had a friend years ago who had a withered hand. Because it was so small he was able to make the most beautiful pots ever. he was a well respected professional potter in England.
kgirl that was really funny. when I saw the thread I could not help but look too.
