Forever learning.

With about four years of throwing experience under my belt, I still find it difficult to make a plate that is both beautiful, functional and stackable. And that ideal set of plates for my own kitchen hasn’t quite materialized yet either….

Handbuilding plates out of clay slabs is also possible, of course, but then you don’t get them symmetrical as easily, and I like that best. And you, have you made plates yet?
