Throwing some beakers today, these were one of the first pots I threw as an apprentice back in 1985 and they really tested my throwing skills to the limit as there's just enough clay to work with and trying to figure out how to use it and at the same time get the shape right . When you hone your skills on pots like this then any other shape seems easier as the time spent getting a beaker right was really time spent learning how to throw and that was for me time well spent as it then became a life spent making a living as a craft potter.
