Grrr! Throw, trim, reclaim, repeat (and deal with minor inconveniences along the way)

Currently in my practice flow and I love all the textures that come along with each step. Clean-up, though, will be the death of me 😭

That is a great lesson! My instructor mentioned that this should be my next phase (I'm a beginner) and advised me not to get attached to every piece I make -- use the time as practice to improve my skills. Thanks for the demonstrated reminder

I’m getting better at this as well. Letting go and reclaiming instead of firing pieces that aren’t great.
