I started with a class and haven't looked back since.

I have many many books - all which describe how to throw, but they
don't beat watching the 'real-thing'....You need to get the 'hands-on'
approach to really grasp it - books afterwards are great for reference
and ideas. Above all you'll learn so much from this chat group - the
ppl here are so helpful.

Enjoy and have fun - it's great therapy and a fantastic de-stresser.

Like everybody sez, find a class and use it.... you'll get access to
lots of clay, glazes, your firing will get done for you (usually) and
all you've got to do is concentrate on learning how to do it... Plus
you'll be surrounded by other people who may know more and may know less
but are there to discuss with...

And give you interesting ideas to do with the weird shapes as well....
and cause other interesting ideas to make weird shapes on purpose.
