Broadening My Horizons

I made a mug tonight in my very first pottery class! An actual slightly lopsided, bumpy mug with a sand dollar and little shell on it. The other new girl, an early 20's-looking Hippiechick with white-girl dreads and a ring through her bottom lip, made this perfect looking vase thing, with pointed petal shaped things curving down and a little bug on it. I felt like throwing a cup of chai tea at her.
As I suspected, I do not possess any natural talent for it. But it was a lot of fun.
