Throwing a small batch of stepped mugs from 300 grams of high-iron stoneware, these are tests, in a way, to handle and then look at, so that I can choose one of these forms to make in a much greater quantity. Although there’s six here, the last thrown, the piece on the left at the very end, was scrapped as proportionally it was miles off.
The others work. There’s a balance between the squared-off lower section and the sloping out walls, I think one easy visual to pick up to tell whether they work or not, (that means whether I like them or not), is restricting the lip to never flare out further than the straight part underneath, instead they need to be more or less inline, give or take a few millimetres.
The last one I threw flared out rather a lot and somehow it begins to feel like a flower pot as compared to the body of a mug, not a shape I’d like to drink from.

No one has ever made me miss throwing the way you do, Florian.
Wow- I genuinely live watching your videos
Usually I'm fine with narration, y'know, it's simple, doesn't do much. But, this narration is calming, and I love that!
Stoneware looks so nice, even unfired
I have to say a very hot take. I……
like the sound of unground lids and pots grinding together.
Hey I was just wondering since my mom has recently gotten in to pottery what type of clay do you use and where do you get it from
Beautiful precision🎉
