Welcome to the Vegan Theory Club Weekly Megathread!
Question of the week:
Tell us about a personal project, hobby, side thing, activity that you’ve been getting into lately.
Feel free to talk about anything, whether it’s vegan-related or not. This is a chill space for connecting, sharing ideas, and supporting each other.
Looking forward to hearing what everyone’s up to!
I’ve mentioned it in weekly threads before but I’ve started taking wheel pottery classes. It’s very nice to just hang out with some clay.
I brought earplugs this week and it was way less overwhelming than previous weeks. I haven’t gotten used to being out in public again!
What do they have you making so far?
Cups and bowls!
Pics? :3
Neat! Looks like some progress between the pieces. Better than my awful pot haha, it’s sister pot has cracked during drying and needs surgery.
I’m guessing they get smoothed after getting ‘leather hard’ or whatever? I don’t know anything about wheel pottery.
You’d think… But the order of production is top right, bottom, top left lol
All we’ve done so far is throw, we learn about trimming this week.
Oh in that case, running out of beginner’s luck? :p
I suppose taller things are harder?
To be honest, I don’t know!
I think I’m still not confident or comfortable with the basics. My partner is catching on a lot quicker than me, but has agreed to book some practice time in the studio (where you just play with clay vs keeping anything) before doing another course.
