If all else fails, I have a backup dream job


It has been almost one year since I began taking pottery classes. I feel like I learned enough to make a beautiful tea cup, a credible candle holder, and a passable plate. What I really enjoy molding, however, are small flower vases. Why? Maybe it's because whatever shape it turns out to be I can still call it a flower vase, but really I think it's the challenge of changing a simple cylinder into a usable object merely by the slight application of pressure from my fingertips. These are my three favorite. I consider them a sort of set, but each one is a gift for a teacher.
