Second Class - A big disappointment

I had left the pot to dry in a steel almira, so had others. However I noticed that one of the leaf on my pot had broken and it was hard to mend it. The day went in mending it, not sure if its going t live when baked.

I also tried the wheel and was almost at the verge of making a pot but all three times I ended up in nothing. Whats important on a wheel is the centreing of the clay and then the pressure you put on the interior and exterior walls and the way you make it grow and expand. I learn how to expand it.. but the trick is - first let it grow in height and then expand. The otherway round just limits the height. Letting it grow in height making sure the walls are thick.

anyway, the day ended with no fruitful result and i came back home sad and disappointed. My creativity failed me or may be I am just not creative enough.
