Have you ever gone to a workshop or seen some pots that you really liked and decided to go to the studio to make some just like it? I confess I went to see Phil Rogers from Wales at Sheridan the other day and the thought occurred to me to make some copy pots. Really nice pots and especially the foot rings. Phil does a very nice foot ring. I have two of his drawings over my desk that I look at everyday. So the following day I made up some clay and decided I would make some yunomi's ala Phil. I made one, looked at it and scrunched it up and rewedged it. Where TF would I put my handle? I did copy down his green glaze and his black breaking to rust glaze. There are Japanese words for those glazes but I'm a Canadian working in Canada so black and green it is.
