Pots that are handmade on the potters wheel have a unique communication between the potter and the user. Finger ridges, the flow of the shaping, the sharpness of corners are unachievable by any other means. Even if you take a hand-thrown pot, and try to reproduce in various mold techniques, the piece loses the immediacy of a truly hand-made pot. The potters wheel is probably the fastest way to make a pot, but also the most difficult to master. Gladwell’s 10,000 hour rule pertains in spades. Everything I make is done by hand on the wheel. It’s why so many useful features like mugs that curve out for comfortable drinking, mixing bowls the curve back in to direct contents back into the bowl, the flameware grill pan that helps keep stuff in the pan not out on the grill. All tiny little features that make your NewClay Pottery work easier to use and more comfortable to handle.
