Throwing a clay body is an invaluable physical test But pieces need to be code numbered for tracking

Friday 26th October 2018

Throwing a clay on a potters wheel gives immediate feedback on the insight-live.com/glossary/269">physical properties (e.g. texture, plasticity, degree of softness, tendency to split, etc). A fancy report full of numbers gathered from expensive testing equipment takes a lot more time and is not likely to be as valuable as this. If you are doing testing, and everyone should be testing body and glaze variations, then all tests need to be identified. Do that with a code number that cross-references into your account at Insight-live.com.
