SIMON LEACH - back to basics - GP bowls !
Simon Leach makes bowls very similar to ours. Note his technique for lifting the bowl off the wheel with his fingers. 450 grams is about 1 pound, and 15 centimeters is about 6 inches, by the way.

Shop for (and sell) pots online
Here are two places online where you can see what other people are making and how much they're charging for it:
Etsy is a website where hobbyists and professionals alike can offer work for sale online. There's very wide range of quality, styles and prices for pots here. Also some jewelry and non-functional items. Etsy now has "Shop Alchemy" where you can request custom items (click on "shop" under "seller info" for a particular item you like; from click "request custom item").
Akar features higher-end work by well-respected ceramic artists and potters.
