We have this place here that we can go and paint pottery that is already made. It is really fun but I want to learn how to actually make it. I think it is called "throwing pottery" which is funny because I doubt you actually throw it. Anybody know how to do this and can tell me what I need to get started?

Ive never done it...but it sounded interesting and this is what I found:

How to use the pottery wheel - step 1 - Centering

How to Make Pottery, A Step by Step Look from Out of the Fire Studio

i dont know what to tell you about how to get started but i did try it and even though it was really hard to get the hang of it was still totally cool.

Thanks for the tips about this. I signed up for a class at the rec. center here.
