So today my S.O. finally took me to my Christmas present, which he'd been keeping a secret all this time.
It was 2.5 hours wheel throwing at a pottery studio. I was SO HAPPY.
I haven't thrown on a wheel in… gosh… ten years. But it came back to me, like riding a bike. 
Unfortunately, now I'm exhausted and sore and achey, but so so happy, and my heart is so full. 
I miss ceramics so much! <3
The instructor invited me to come back and purchase a membership any time I felt up to it, and honestly, I really wish I could!
The only reason I could do it today is because they wedged and prepared the clay for us before we arrived. If I had to do that myself , I would have used up all my energy before even sitting down at the wheel.
For those who don't know, I majored in ceramics my first two years at art school. I wanted to finish my degree in it, but switched to Illo. the last two years.
Wheel throwing was my love. I wanted to major in it and finish my degree in it, but once I changed schools there wasn't enough space in the ceramics classes, so I switched to Illustration instead, and never made my way back.
But man… getting my hands dirty, putting myself into the clay… I miss it so much. I'm so happy I got to come back to it tonight, however briefly.
We'll see if this little vase thingy turns out when I can pick it up in a six weeks! X)
Remember when I went wheel throwing for the first time in 10 years back in March? Well we finally picked up my finished pot!
I'm in love with it. :D I'm so glad I hadn't lost all of my wheel throwing knowledge and was able to make something this cute. <3
I miss it so much. ;___;
@Rheall what a cute little pot
