Final Class Party – Fall 2019: One-Handed Throwing Competition!

After the resounding success of our blindfolded throwing competition, we thought: ‘how else can we screw up a thrower’s capability?’.

Each pair of competitors had only one hand to use each to throw the tallest vessel in 6 minutes! Some pieces were remarkably well formed. Others, not so much! But in the end it was all for the prestige of the title, not the art.

A late addition to the rules was to demand competitors fill their free hand with their drink! Why did it take so long to figure that one out? Better late than never.

All of this restricted pottery training should produce some Kung Fu level throwing skills!
