Clayfolio — a field guide to handmade ceramics

Field notes

The shape index groups twelve forms by practical use and gives each one a focused inspection prompt, such as checking a plate for rocking or a lidded jar for a soft, low seating sound. The glossary introduces terms including lip, rim, foot, and other vessel anatomy, while the glazing and care sections extend the guide beyond identification into ownership. The page presents this material as “Volume one.”
