When you're throwing pieces, it's sometimes difficult to accurately measure the height and width of your pot. If you have a large rim, it will be easier to measure the capacity of your pot from the inside. So, you can make yourself a dragonfly. I learned about this trick during my trip to Japan. There, I met a ceramicist I'd been following on social media for a long time, Yuto Riro . From what I gathered from our conversations, which were partly in French, partly in English, and partly in Japanese, pottery supply stores are less common in Japan, and artisans are very resourceful in making their own tools. I find this approach very interesting for keeping costs down in your studio. It was Yuto Riro who explained to me that this tool is called a "dragonfly."
