Hi bonsaial1

Some very interesting comments there. I can only speak for myself, I find that when I throw pots then they tend to be, except drum pots, less labour intensive than pots made by other methods, coiling and slabbing. Therefore this is reflected in the price that they are sold for. I agree that if labour + time and materials = pot price then they would truly be expensive and no one would buy them. However once you become a sought after name, like Dan Barton here in the uk, then the price of the pot does command a higher price than the average potter. As long as I cover the cost of my materials and make a little beer money on top of that then I am happy.

I will keep an eye on this thread as I am sure there will be some "interesting" responses.

Regards

Andy
