I'm a newbie pottery. Should I start w / simple shapes, because I am building the hand? Project ideas for me?

The simplest forms are often the most difficult because they show most clearly error. Hand building, using coil or plate, or a combination, so that after the required forms without the same time so large that they should fall from the work of their own weight, if incorrect how small, you can not with your hands (as special tools would be needed.) If you go, take it all the way through the windshield (and do not just mash them), could then work two or four identical bowls, cups, glasses or work cups. Your examination of the results is undertaken collectively and work, you need to make any 2x or 3x what you want, mushing the bad examples, to get a number. And speaking of sets, you could set commercial as role models and make a glass / cup and bowl set (perhaps even a plate) and the Glaze them equally where the completion is that they work together, not that they are identical. Such pieces 2 and 3 sets could be given as Gifts to relatives and friends, if satisfactory, so you go to a scratch and do.
