=22Nina. . . . but a figurine cast from a commercial mold, no matter how
brilliantly decorated, does not warrant the adjective =22handmade.=22 This =
isn't a
debate about which is the more virtuous technique, it's about definitions. =
I've
seen china painting that I liked better than many handmade pieces I've seen,=
but
the object on which the china painter developed her imagery was not =
handmade.=22
It seems as if the debate has wondered into that egg-shell ridden territory.
But, for the record, the above claim seems to have been attributed to me, =
and I
never said any such thing. In my post I discussed, a little, the =
differences
between hand-building and slip-casting (and a bit more of my personal =
history
than I'm sure some of you wanted to know). I never said one was synonymous =
for
the other.
