A board or two of classic affordable little pots for the "Better buy something before we go" custom.This ones for you 'Sculptrix'(Google blog'Clay Chronicles'Guess what they are?)Do you know what these are?,A simple little 12oz pot of many heights and diameter's. First one to let me know exactly what they are gets one,Gratis!
The necks make em a bit of a 'Pigaroo' to turn but throwing a suitably accommodating chuck from clay or sticking a found pot on the wheel head answers the problem.
My favourite tool for getting into tight corners without the actual tool itself impeding the operation is in fact the simplest .A 'Shim' of hardened steel,broken in half has a subtle curve allowing you to tuck it in & under the foot.Having droned on in the past about 'Studio' pots,don't neglect the something for a few quid
sale.Get it right by giving due thought to what is wanted,and multiples of small pots soon add up.
Best sellers this year were Citronella garden lights bonded to good quality canes. Quite often small items can be economically produced from some other make or process.I hate waste so if ever extruding die formed handles then the odd lengths get turned into lightweight 'Apron' hooks and off cut coils become simple 'mushroom' cane tops (stops you poking yer eye out!)
