This argument will never have a resolution...nor does this matter. I =
have my own opinion of what is handmade and what isn't.=20
PLEASE..let us call it what it is.....
If the methods you use in making your ware include processes which are a =
bit mechanical.. then label them with your name or your pottery...and =
leave it at that.!!!
Cast..jigger..mould...do whatever you want..but don't label it with a =
tag which could be considered a lie by some.
A friend of mine has wrecked her shoulder and now must resort to a lot =
of cast ..pressed..and jiggered pots. and she now labels these pots =
with 'from the Studio of ...' or hand decorated by ....
The public will judge by the result and we should be unashamedly honest =
about how we made the pot.
I get hopping mad when ANYTHING has a misleading description tagged onto =
it.....it is so unnecessary.
