I like to first asses the ability of the students and then proceed with learning/refining of techniques. I will always supply articles/videos of interest to the project we will be working on. After assessing, Ideally throwing bigger and consistent is a goal I like to start with. Shapes as such come with the knowledge of the techniques. Surface decorations will be taught as well to add dimension to the pieces being created. I will always supply articles/videos of interest to the project we will be working on.
