Failed attempts

Some days go well, others on the other hand do not. Today was one of them, I made nothing. Nothing worked, absolutely nothing.

I tried throwing some mugs, in fact I tried throwing three. The first one was going well but towards the end I nicked the clay the wrong way and it was down as a droopy mug. Then the second and third simply didn't work at all. For one, I thought I centered the clay and when I tried pulling the walls, it went insanely off center. For the third I pulled the wall too thin in one spot and the clay couldn't hold itself up anymore so it fell apart. Great.

  1. I hear your frustration, yet I desire to understand the experiences that caused them. Please tell of these, and strive to "uncover" the obstacles that caused the "failure"--there may be some worthwhile learning within.
