Pottery

Recently, I had my first encounter with pottery making. While messy (clay, clay everywhere), it was quite enjoyable. Of course, as an inexperienced novice, making objects on the wheel was (still is) quite challenging. During that short time of pottery making, I gained a new hobby: watching other people make potteries. Surprisingly, it was very soothing (I thought it was going to be dull), especially when I am watching experts at work. Thus, I search YouTube (it seems I'm on there all the time) for master potters. I was not disappointed and below are two clips. One is of the legendary pottery maker Hamada Shoji and the other is a more recent clip of someone making a teapot (it inspired me to make a tiny, hand-sculpted tea set).

I can't stop watching; must see more. I wish I had more time with pottery making, then again, don't we all wish we had more time with one thing or another.
