Visit a local ceramics studio; many schools and colleges have one, but private studios are also good. Try and witness ceramists throwing clay on a wheel and talk to them about their philosophy concerning ceramics and how they acquired their skill. If you are unable to visit a local ceramics studio, you may alternatively visit the Metropolitan Museum of Art (Webpage) online and speculate about a specific artist. Summarize your experience and findings in 4-6 sentences.
