Listener Questions
On this episode:
- I’ve been doing pottery for several years now, but just got into doing it full time and making larger scale works (8lb+). I noticed when I have days I’m throwing all day that my lower back is just completely spent. Even just bending over the sink is really difficult to maintain balance at the end of a throwing day. I have very, very, very minor scoliosis which might also be contributing to this. I don’t really notice this on days I’m throwing small pots, but only when I’m centering larger amounts. Do you have any tips, tricks, or even certain exercises to minimize physical issues like this? I know Becca has mentioned she has carpel tunnel. I do wrist stretches but am not sure how to position myself so I don’t have that much back pain (other than configuring a standing wheel). I’m only in my mid twenties and want to continue doing this for a long time @Hannahsceramicstudio
- I’m wanting to know your opinion on having a cohesive look throughout your work. I’ve been doing pottery for over 3 years now and still in love with all the techniques that are possible. Maybe there is more cohesiveness than I think but how important is that for a business do you think? This is my sister and my page as she also does pottery. Her style is much more whimsical and there’s also not many of her works as she doesn’t do this nearly as much as I do. Thanks for answering! Love the podcast!! -Natalie Deters, Two Sisters Pottery
