About Pat's Pot Page

I started this channel to share my learning experiences with pottery. You see, I've always wanted to learn to use a potter's wheel, but was afraid I would suck. So I never made the time to do it.

Well, recently a friend offered to teach me. Now all my excuses were out the window. I had a teacher, use of the equipment, so I told myself it was now or never!

And guess what? I didn't suck! That's not to say that I'm great or even good yet, but my first piece on the wheel turned out to be something I actually completed and it is being used today!

Please follow if you want to see my journey, including the failures as well as the successes. You see, I consider those not-so-good pieces to be educational and useful. So I'm sharing them with you in hopes that it gives you the courage to try that thing you've always wanted to try.

Take a chance. Stretch that envelope. Expand your comfort zone. You never know, you might not suck. But if you do, it will only be for a little while.
