I am a new teacher of clay. A little over a year ago Jennifer and I opened a new community studio here in Vancouver, Washington called Clay Works of Vancouver. Because I wasn't a teacher, I went a good chunk of the year watching others teach all the classes. I started doing our one-off classes, Take It For A Spin, and Clay for Two classes. These are basic one-time events that are there just to dip the toe in the water and have fun. But then I was asked by a person if I would be willing to teach a beginner class. I said with total confidence that I would totally do it for her. And then I actually had to do it. So I asked for some advice from y'all. This episode is some of the advice I received. https://ThePottersCast.com/1256
