- People learning to choose and care for handmade pottery
- Worth noticing
- The guide covers twelve vessel shapes and explains details such as foot rings, throwing rings, galleries, and glaze surfaces.
Field notes
The shape shelf gives each form a practical inspection point rather than treating names as mere decoration: a mug’s handle should clear the knuckles, a plate should not rock, and a jug’s handle must carry a full pour. The glossary adds workshop vocabulary such as kodai, throwing rings, trimming, and chatter, while the glazing section frames a surface as material formed in the kiln. The page presents the project as independent and unsponsored.
