Superb! I tried taking a pottery class in college. My first attempt at throwing ended up in disaster. My teacher kindly pulled me aside and said, "Bill, you just don't have gentle hands" and encouraged me to take something else! True story!
Great Job Jason!

Nice work, I like the Chawan. And the glaze on the green teacup. How long have you been at it? They indeed have a rather Japanese look that isn't present in most teaware I see made by "Westerners."
I was thinking of taking a ceramics class, but its $400 and my car just got wrecked so i need to buy a new one. Thus I think I have to wait till Jan for the class ;( Although you may have inspired me to just find a way to make it work... gotta send the check in this week though...
