Man, I got booted out of a writing class after the first meeting once, for being "too experienced" or some bullshit. I felt like all the students there were way more experienced than I was in this particular subject and came ready to learn, but the instructor kept passive-aggressively asking if I really thought it was advanced enough for me and then just refunded my payment. I was told the teacher was just insecure, but man it sucked and it took me a while to stop feeling rotten about myself.
oh my god, that's horrible. i also felt like crap after he booted me, like ok, this space is NOT FOR YOU. fine. took me a long time to find a new studio.
Just came here to say that although I know virtually nothing about ceramics, I sure do love the name “pinch pot.” 💁🏻♀️
pinch pots are the best! they are the oldest form of pottery!

It's really an awful feeling, and I'm glad you found a new studio eventually!
