Okay folks, try this one.
When turning I've taught myself (as I put it) to see the curve. I can tell when the shape I'm creating is right or wrong. More particularly when it comes to slender stems or finials. But I seem to be able to do it to bowls and vases as well.
But... (and don't I hate but's!) I cannot see a foot. I never know what foot to put on a piece, how big, what shape, simple or ornate.
Yes I can see the dimensions 1/3 etc but I've never yet created a foot I am really happy with!
Any clues, directions to a book, on-line article or anything useful gratefully accepted.
