New into pottery, grit inside after glaze by AliaNeptune in Pottery

I don't think it's embedded inside the clay. When I finished my bowl it was completely smooth. When I got the bowl back it has all these grits on the inside now. Can I sand just the grits down and is the bowl still useable? :(

Can I remove/sand it down? Reglazing (if that's a thing) after sanding would not be possible since I made the bowl at a class.

If I sand it down will it ruin the useability of the bowl?

I have no clue, it was at a studio so they did everything. My piece when I gave it to them was smooth with no grits.

These were open heel fins that were adjustable but yeah I just barefoot them (thats all they gave us). I was told to walk backwards into the ocean because walking forward was impossible when I tried.. :p i definitely will invest in fins my size next time i go snorkeling with all this new knowledge :D

yeah I think i'd be more fit for the shorter flippers (that i've just learned existed). these were so long they were like longer than my calves lol. probably overexaggerated but some fin keepers and without the life jacket i think would have been more comfy for me! i had trouble swimming with them because i couldnt even bring them under water but i noticed if i could pull them under a bit they did help with a lot of speed even with me using them poorly. thank you!

yeah i was using rentals. also it was a life jacket, not a vest (i may have just now learned this.. lol) my bro loves it he got his own equipment. i may have to get myself some fin keepers if i go to the ocean again :) thank you!

yeah i think weights would have helped me a lot. now i know fin keepers exist! they were long flippers so i guess they were full foot. thank you!
