A Sample Year at SuperHuman
Progress in pottery is not linear. Learning something new often reveals a foundational skill that you need to practice again. Learning alongside members who have decided to make pottery a big part of their lives will make all the difference.
Month 1
Kara has never touched clay.
She is interested in wheel throwing, so her first weeks are spent wedging, centering, opening, and learning to pull a straight wall. She repeats these basic again and again before learning more advanced forms.
