         1. Since I have to answer these questions honestly, My growth has not improved on the wheel since day one. I never was able to get a hang of it. I tried many times but was unsuccessful unfortunately.
         2. As I can tell from others, what it takes to master the wheel is talent. Everyone has steady, strong hands and I do not when it comes to ceramics.
         3. A major struggle I had on the wheel was everything. From centering to pulling. I have tried to improve my skills overtime.
         4. The easiest part of class was glazing my finished items. The hardest part of the class was mastering the wheel.
         5. I could see some of my work I have made but definitely not all of it. The ones that I couldn't sell are the items I tried to throw on the wheel but turned out horrible.

                     Some challenges I faced when using the pottery wheel to build my test tiles where making the               correct form and pinching/pulling up the clay at the same time. After the 6th test tile I made I noticed             I significantly became better at using the wheel, at least in my opinion. I hope to progressively                         become better as the semester goes on!
