Quickly filling studios with bowls thrown three per minute has taught me ways to pack pots. I would like to learn to throw other forms, like jugs and water jars with the same ease as I do my bowls. Often you hear potters say that a form doesn't get good until you've made one hundred. My experience with bowls seems to point to a number closer to three thousand. That is fatalism.
Fatalists are never good at sales.
I like gritty feet on pots. That is the problem. They scratch my mother's furniture. She has glued little green felt circles to their bottoms. They would scratch your table too if you let them.
