During COVID, I decided to start learning how to throw pot tree. It was just in my list of the activities that I should try to do. and I decided to buy a class on pottery and unexpectedly I liked it so much that I bought a subscription to a paper about pottery I bought the series of classes on pottery and it took me about 2-3 years to learn how to throw the specific type of clay how you should trim it, how you should wage it, how you should put it in the kiln where to put it in the kiln, how to glaze it, how to cover it with specific types of colors. And that’s all is such an useful activity because it can help you to create new things and to make for example small gifts for your family and friends. I gave my dad a box made of clay where he puts useless stuff and it’s some kind of organizer. Also I gave my close family members small balls that you can put on your new year tree as a decoration with their syllables on it and that’s a very nice family decoration for them all.

During COVID, I decided to start learning how to throw pottery. It was just on my list of activities that I should try. I decided to buy a class on pottery, and unexpectedly, I liked it so much that I bought a subscription to a magazine about pottery. I purchased a series of classes on pottery, and it took me about 2-3 years to learn how to throw the specific type of clay, how to trim it, how to wedge it, how to put it in the kiln, where to place it in the kiln, how to glaze it, and how to cover it with specific types of colors. This has been such a useful activity because it allows you to create new things and make, for example, small gifts for your family and friends. I gave my dad a box made of clay where he puts miscellaneous items, and it's a kind of organizer. I also gave my close family members small ornaments that they can hang on their Christmas tree as decorations with their initials on them, and that's a very nice family decoration for them all.
