so i've been diving into this new hobby lately - pottery! like, who would've thought getting my hands dirty with clay could be so therapeutic. i visited this cool little studio downtown where they offer classes for beginners and it’s been such a blast. my first creation was, let's just say, a bit wobbly and uneven, but hey, it's got character, right?

yesterday, i actually managed to make a halfway decent bowl. the instructor, who’s super chill and patient, showed me this trick with the wheel to get a smoother finish. i was skeptical at first, but it worked like magic. now i’m kinda hooked. thinking about getting my own little set-up at home if i can find the space. plus, it’s a great way to unplug and just focus on something tangible for a change. anyone else tried their hand at pottery or any other artsy stuff? would love to hear your experiences!
