In addition to the language I took culture classes last week. On Wednesday we were scheduled to learn about Japanese pottery. Remembering the bad experiences from secondary school I was already in doubt whether I would be excelling. I think my mother still has some of these ugly products that I made in pottery class back then and they clearly show that I've always lacked talent in that area. Well, half of the class had already had pottery class before, so they started off with a half finished product. We, the beginners got a piece of clay and had to start from scratch. First press it onto the turning table, mold it and extend the side part. Then add an additional layer of clay on top and make it smooth again. It sounds simple, but I was right, I am still lacking talent. The pottery teacher had to intervene quite a few times to save my tea cup. But it was really fun actually!
