3 Rims and a Fail

 

I recently did a demo for one of my wheel-throwing classes; I wanted to show them some rim options The rim is a frequently overlooked part of the pot; often the rim is just the place where the clay runs out. Unconsidered, as it were. A good rim can make a pot more durable, for sure - a little extra thickness just at the rim makes chips & cracks less likely - but a rim can also add charm. Let's not forget that aesthetics is a part of function. 
The whole demo, including a fail! - is available for subscribers at the Water, Air, and Fire levels on my Patreon page.
