Pottery: Successfully throwing and trimming a mug

For those of you who have been following me on my pottery journey, you’ve already seen my failed attempts at throwing a mug. Well, I am pleased to say that I finally succeeded. I was able to not only pull a straight and centered cylinder but was able to shape it into a mug! This was my first time making a usable pottery item and also trying my hand at trimming. I know this is all very amateur stuff for most of you pottery experts but it’s a huge breakthrough for me as a beginner! Keeping my fingers crossed that this survives the kiln (maybe I’ll do another video of firing and glazing if it does!) Wish me luck! And continue to watch if you want to see me try to accomplish my next pottery goal!
