Craft Critique IV- Along with the quality of how well a technique is applied (which we haven't really considered yet) is related notion. Is the technique applied overtly? When appled overtly, the technique is visible on the piece.  Pots with throwing rings, glazes with fingerprints from where they were held, woodfire flash marks, are the sorts of things that show the technique used.  Some are inherant in the technique.  These techniques are readily seen.  Other techniques have to be applied in a certain way so that they are visible. Because a person inexperienced in a certain technique may only be able to apply it in an overt way, that would need to be considered. 6:42:02 AM
