A note of encouragement
Woodworking and ceramics can be frustrating because both have the tendency to look simple but actually take years of effort to master. Fortunately, there are vibrant communities of artists across the United States who can help you develop your techniques and learn safely. Be kind to yourself and seek in-person expert guidance when you are stuck, especially when dangerous machinery is involved. As the great Bob Ross said about creating art, “we don’t make mistakes, we have happy accidents.”

Intersted in Ceramic Sculpting?
