I don’t know what it is about a thrown pot but I have always admired and enjoyed them.  I was doing an undergraduate degree when I heard of a six month pottery course offered in Fredericton, New Brunswick. I told my mother I would quit just for the six months and then I will go back to university. As it turned out I had to retire before I spent time potting. Pottery offers an endless learning curve and a potter never stops learning. Perhaps I should try for the ‘perfect pot’ but instead I find myself trying something new. It’s so much fun that way.
