When giving instructions teacher kept looking or making eye contact with the one male in the class for some reason vs looking at each one of us with eye contact. I know its hard to give instructions during the doing but having some doing earlier would be better. Like throw your clay down and make sure it suctions like this. Now without using wheel make it into cone. This is how to control wheel with foot (it took me by surprise I didn’t need to hold foot on pedal and it just stays to where I push it to). With the clay ball there, this is how to hold hands over clay (before wheel/water starts), vs trying to remember all instructions to do at end without the clay being there in front of us. Then when we do all the instructions with wheel/water it would be good for you to give hand over hand feedback to us more (like 10 points of feedback per student). Overall a good experience!
