First Week

Hello Readers,

My name is Patrick Parrish, and welcome to my blog. This first week back has been about getting readjusted to what is throwing clay. I've thrown a total of 23 mugs this week, or attempted to; 6 made the cut, but still might not make it to the end.

Of the 6 mugs 3 already have handles, I was toying with putting on handles directly off the wheel. I threw the mug then directly after pulled a handle and put it on; I will keep them since it's the first time I put a handle on a cup, but I still don't know if they'll make the cut for the "Mug Project." This is also my first Blog so if anyone has pointers, or something they'd like to see done differently I'm all ears.
