43. Feet and Design

Lindsey and Donte discuss all things feet…on pottery. They share the pros and cons of trimming or not, discuss the functional and stylistic considerations around feet, and even get into some thoughts about pottery design in general and what makes a piece interesting to them. 

Whether you’re a new potter/ceramic artist and you’re having trouble getting your feet “just right” or have had your hands in clay for a while and feel a bit stuck, this episode has a little something for you.

Do you trim your feet? Is there a style of trimming/adding feet you’ve wanted to try? Tell us in the comments, or tag us (@lindseymdillon and @earthnationceramics) on social media!
