How do I un-background my work?

I painted this puffin which i’m overall happy with (I was experimenting with a different style than usually).

However, I reallyyyy regret the blue background. Is there any way I can save this or should I chalk it down to a lesson learn?

What kind of stich do I need to take in the waist of this dress without it looking a mess?

Picture 1 shows how the dress sits naturally

I would like to bring in the fabric around my waist area to be more form fitting (photo 2). There’s a lot of excess fabric around the waist which i’ve tried to show in pics 3/4.

I’m not too sure how to describe what I’m envisioning but i’d like the skirt part of my dress to start more near my hips not my chest - I hope this makes a tiny bit of sense 😅

Does anyone have a tutorials or previous projects that were similar that may help me do this? This is my first alteration attempt

Hi all! I’ve been seeing lots of videos recently of people making pottery on social media recently and I think It looks super fun.

My only issue is I can’t convince any of my friends to come with me to a beginners pottery class. The sessions at my local studio are pretty small (10 people). Would I look weird if I went alone? What’s the general etiquette in a shared studio do people usually keep to themselves or is it very social?

Update - thankyou everyone for the reassurance! I’ve booked a taster session for in two weeks time i’m super excited!
