Ghost is a 1990 American romantic fantasy thriller film directed by Jerry Zucker, written by Bruce Joel Rubin, and starring Patrick Swayze, Demi Moore, Whoopi Goldberg, Tony Goldwyn, Vincent Schiavelli and Rick Aviles. The plot centers on Sam Wheat (Swayze), a murdered banker whose ghost sets out to save his girlfriend, Molly Jensen (Moore) from the person who killed him through the help of a psychic Oda Mae Brown (Goldberg). Ghost was theatrically released on July 13, 1990 to commercial success, grossing $505 million against a budget of $22 million[4] and emerging as the highest-grossing film of 1990 and at the time of its release, was the third-highest-grossing film of all time. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghost_(1990_film) [[let's go check out the movie...->movie trailer]] You will need to allow pop-ups to navigate out of Twine#Whoopi Goldberg <img src=http://blogs.ubc.ca/reoliver/files/2021/10/whoopi-e1633664516327.jpg> Whoopi Goldberg played Oda Mae Brown in //''Ghost''//.

I work with over a hundred students every year to teach them the basics of how to prepare and shape clay on a pottery wheel. Here is a series of short videos that I have created to illustrate the process.
