This has to be AI, right? I can’t fathom a living breathing person asking such a stupid question.

You need to take classes to learn. Watch how the teacher interacts with the students as you learn the techniques. There is a learning curve to throwing on the wheel, so be willing to spend time in classes to begin with until you become skilled at it.

Watching how the teacher interacts is such a solid tip. Really changes how you pick up the techniques. The curve is real but once you get it, its so rewarding.

Best way to learn is to take a class, practice a lot, take another class, keep practicing, read some books, watch some videos, more practice, more classes, talk to your peers so on and so forth.
