    As a beginner of pottery making, I sometimes struggle during the throwing process. I have trouble centering the clay(I manage to do that, but it takes too much time). And my lifting isn't working well too. I found this course very useful, the instruction and demonstration are very clear. And I can't wait to have a try of these technique in my next pottery throwing class! Thank you for the time and effort!
