Thank you to Lili Daniels for commenting on my blog, it is so nice to know I am not talking to empty space.
I don’t think I am focusing on one aspect of teapots at a time, I am trying to make a balanced teapot in every case experimenting with handles, spouts and knobs on lids.
I am trying to be true to Takeshi Yasuda’s teaching not to judge them untill I have 100, and then i will group them according to their looks and then progress into a more informed and purposeful making.
This week I have made only 3 pots and then I cut a finger so I have to pause (can’t throw without my first finger!)
I tryed thinner handles and double walled handles. This thing about the balance intrigues me and annoys me. I keep thinking it is a personal judgement, but there seem to be some Universal principles about it that I don’t spontaneously see.
