Successes and Challenges on the Potery Wheel

While throwing on the wheel I came across some challenges and some successes. I came to found some of my challenges on the wheel was to get it centered. Our first project in Ceramics, we throw from the hump. It took me a while to get it centered to go off of it from the beginning but once it was it was a lot simpler. Also, after I finished throwing, I ran into the challenge of getting my project off the hump and it being even on the bottom and not getting figure prints all over it. A success I had while throwing was getting it to be even on the top and making it look how I wanted it too.
