I used my wheel for the first time today. The motor’s kinda loud, in true old-shimpo-motor fashion, but she works fine. There’s no splash pan, but I managed to keep the mess fairly small by not using much water and cleaning up between pieces.
What I did with my morning.

My name is Maaike Charron, and I'm a potter in St. John's, Newfoundland. I started fiddling around with pottery in summer 2006, when I was told volunteering in the local clay studio would get me free studio time. I mostly taught myself, spending a lot of time poring over books, magazines and websites, and occasionally pestering the more advanced (but very helpful) potters around me with questions. After about two years, I decided I'd gotten good enough to go into business for myself. This blog, started after my first big craft fair, was created to document the process of becoming a wondrously succesful craftsperson. (Or it will document How Not To Do It. We'll see.)
