My molds are just as meticulous, the divides are almost exactly the same. It has been my goal for some time to make the pot that has never been made before, so thanks for the compliment! Jenny, The next post I do will be all about my discs, I'm working on it, but need to get someone to photograph me as I trim, that is the hard part. Inge,

Jenny,
The next post I do will be all about my discs, I’m working on it, but need to get someone to photograph me as I trim, that is the hard part.

Your work is so clean and precise. I am interested in how you make the groove in the bottom for the discs...seems like it would be hard to get a tool in there! Anyways, great work!!

Well, I don´t know about that, but I sure havent seen anything like this before. Does remind me of the plasterpart "joints", for mass production, except turned inside out! VERY INTERESTING! Hmmm might just "need" one of your plates... And they say there is nothing new under the sun, nothing that hasent been done before!

Throwing, cutting, glazing. The throwing marks are important because of the contrast they provide with the cut marks, the glaze unifies and makes things more subtle. I will say that pots really seem naked or unfinished to me without the cutting process. I see thrown forms simply as blanks.

I could visualize you doing something like this, but thought it's crazy to even think of something like this. You are just brilliant at what you do! Thank you so much for posting this.
