Even though I've been at the pottery gig for a few years now, I can still catch myself doing stupid things.
Just the other day I was making handles for a batch of mugs. Because I was a little distracted while I was making them, I ended up recounting how many I had already at least 4 times.
Finally I got so fed up with myself that I reorganized the handles into groups of 5 on the board so that I could see at a glance whether I had enough for my 2 dozen mugs yet...
Since this was a doing stupid things day, I made a couple of extra handles too, just in case...
I didn't need the extra handles, but the groups of 5 is going to be a new regular studio practice.
