Ultimately, I'd like to do screenprinting at home, but to do that, I still need to figure out how to adapt my workspace.
I've been interested in learning how to screenprint for a while. I watched some videos on YouTube, but never quite understood the process, so I finally signed up for a workshop. Here my first prints. I hope to try out using two or more colors.

Accidentally broke another of my pieces. I placed the vase upside down on the table too hard and the lip cracked into multiple pieces. It was too painful to look at. I knew I'd linger on the break if I stopped long enough to look at it, so I quickly picked it up and broke off what was left of the lip. Actually, I didn't really mind how the edge of the lip looked; the angles were interesting, but they would be dangerously sharp after firing, so it was best that I evened everything out and sanded down the edges. Yet again, another reminder to not get overly attached to the final product. Must remember to be more careful when handling these pieces in the future. They may feel hard to the touch, but they're very fragile and crack like a cookie.
Here's a pot I made during my high school days. I took one ceramics class while in high school. It was dedicated to hand building, not wheel throwing, but I remember wanting to try out the wheels. Because it wasn't a part of my class, it always seemed like a far off goal for me. It took many years, but I finally got a chance to try out the wheel in ceramics class. Handbuilding is easier for me, but I think I still try wheel throwing because of the fact that I didn't get a chance to learn as a teenager. Funny how stuff from the past still stays with you and influences you today.
