Last night was certainly interesting.
It started when I was told to, “Grab a bat. Put it on and make sure it doesn’t wobble.”
Um, okay.
Then, “Smack it down. Smack it down hard! Hit it a couple of times, just to be sure.”
Wow.
“Push with your left and cradle with your right.”
I think I can do that.
Imagine my raised eyebrows when I was admonished to, “Really get your knuckle in there and lift your bottom up.”
Cringe!
“Keep your fingers together as you pull. Be sure to keep your fingers together.”
Simple enough, right?
“Smooth things out with the metal rib of death, but be careful: That thing will cut you up.”
Duly noted.
“Railroad tracks and compress your rim, and a gentle touch to finish things off.”
Smack it hard, compress, then be gentle. Check.
“Slice it off with a wire and slide it with plenty of water to keep things lubricated.”
Gulp.
From the outside looking in, a pottery class must be really interesting to watch!
Yet There is Method 
Was very intrigued with your slice! Had my mind wondering exactly what you were asked to do! Great slice!

I’ve always been interested in the way different activities have their own vocabulary and “insider” lingo. Thanks for reading!
