β€œIf you want to go quickly, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.” – African Proverb

Hey Clay Freind,

Just popping in because it’s almost the weekend when we get to make pots together, live on the internet!

πŸ—“οΈ When: Sunday, September 22, 2024, from 10am-1pm EST

🌐 Where: Live Online (link provided upon registration)

πŸ’° Investment: Just $12 for founding members (Regular price: $59)

I wanted to share the five ways Confident Cylinders will transform your pottery:

  1. Consistent Forms: Having a method and throwing routine to fall back on will help us create forms more predictably and uniformly.
  2. Confidence at the Wheel: After a few important wins, you’ll inevitably build confidence with every practice session.
  3. Live Support, Instant Answers: Get direct support from me and immediate feedback.
  4. Clear Path to Progress: Understand not just the β€œhow” but the β€œwhy” behind each technique.
  5. Community Support: Join a supportive family of fellow pottery enthusiasts. (more details below). And we plan to have fun!
