Artist Response

1.I have grown on the wheel substantially and prefer it to throw on now.
2.Really all it takes is patience and once you realize that it actually comes much easier
3.I initially had issues with rushing trying to get it finished as fast as possible but after that I had very few issues
4.The easiest part of this class is definitely the hand building projects while the hardest part is time constraints
5.I do not believe I am yet at the level of making ceramic art in order to make monetary value off it yet because it isn't professional enough and not as well done as I would like it
