maybe test the water with a cheapo one like this.. I will say that I definitely benefited from a few one on one throwing sessions to get that initial confidence going.. and the rest is made up from there.. haha.. here’s my first attempt on a wheel..!? #PotteryThrowdown 😆🙌

I feel like that went kind of okay..!? clearly nothing like the experience I get on a session with the excellent @mrpspots but still one of fun.. I feel most of tonight was figuring out the ‘process’ of use and setup for next time.. and making a pot..!? #NTUmakerclub 😆🙌

this week has been a bit of a write-off from a health and well-being point of view.. I have some sort of dreaded lurgy going on alongside a dark grey cloud over my head.. might try a #spoonkitchen session later..!? but this random message from @mrpspots cheers me up.. 😆🙌

getting the hang of centering the clay once on the wheel is still a learning moment.. with @mrpspots on hand to bring things on track if needed.. and after a go at trimming, part two of today’s session was all about ‘bowls’..!? great to learn a bit about tools and technique..😀🙌

today’s #pottery session with the excellent @mrpspots was a tale of two parts.. the first being the trimming back a pre-made bowl with associated tools and techniques..!? this was EPIC, and as someone who turns on the woodlathe it was a great experience.. albeit novice level.. 🙌

such a tactile process to get to have a go with.. an oversized ‘blank’ trimmed back to shape and size.. it was great to get to have a go at this aspect of making a bowl in a session.. thank you to @mrpspots for prepping up prior to my visit this morning..!? 😀🙌

I have another throwing session tomorrow with the excellent @mrpspots at the @BanksMillStudio.. it was only 2wks ago but I have no doubt forgotten everything I learnt.. but that’s why we book more sessions.. maybe I can share what I learn at a future #NTUmakerclub session? 😆🙌

today I had a great Sunday morning wheel throwing session with the excellent @mrpspots.. how time flies when you are having fun so hopefully I’ll be back for another go in a few weeks.. from novice to ‘novice with a pot’ in just a couple of hours.. #EPIC #learntoshare 😀🙌

The @derbycollege Broomfield Hall Campus peacocks are absolutely livid that we haven't tweeted about them this week. So here's Tony Peacock who is DEFINITELY NOT CREATING A DISTRACTION SO HIS MATES CAN ROB THE CANTEEN. Oh Tony...

Exclusive! @wordbloke is 'on the market'. This is the perfect opportunity to snap up a very capable, honest and hard-working person. I can vouch for him as a friend, colleague and all-round superstar - if anyone would like an intro or find out more, then please get in touch.
