Watch the YouTubers, you'll learn a lot, but then get out there and give it a go. Get yourself a good quality face shield and decent dust mask, because safety first. Start small, my first bowl was only three inches across. If something like that gets away from you, and you're not turning at a million miles an hour it's not going to hurt you. And if it does get away from you (and it will happen) it's far from the end of the world.
If you can join a club I would. It depends on your availability, they're mostly run by retired guys, not working people. That said they're normally a wealth of knowledge just waiting to pass it on.
And when you've done that bowl or vase or handle you think is pretty good, post some pics up here. Most of the folks here are gentle with the newbies.
