Sadly, it seems fine, hand thrown pots are not as appreciated by the younger, instant gratification oriented set. 3D printed anythings have a certain 'zip, bang, golly, gee whiz' factor that makes them cooler than an actual peice of art.Can be done with ceramic
I guess that just means us curmudgeonly old farts are left to appreciate the beauty and skill in a well executed stoneware pot. At least until the younger ones grow and mature enough to get beyond the juvenile attachment to gadgets. And that's just fine by me

I wasn't going to respond but your arrogance got to me.Sadly, it seems fine, hand thrown pots are not as appreciated by the younger, instant gratification oriented set. 3D printed anythings have a certain 'zip, bang, golly, gee whiz' factor that makes them cooler than an actual peice of art.

Let me break down what you said..
"Sadly, it seems fine, hand thrown pots are not as appreciated by the younger, instant gratification oriented set."
Not true go on Instagram or YouTube. ART is at an all time high with more artists and aspiring artists than ever throughout history.... O and i am an artist ill post some work
"3D printed anythings have a certain 'zip, bang, golly, gee whiz' factor that makes them cooler than an actual peice of art"
Is todays age rushed ...Yes ofcourse,but i took something from nothing printed it ..then sand and paint and clear coat... so not instant.
"I guess that just means us curmudgeonly old farts are left to appreciate the beauty and skill in a well executed stoneware pot"
Cant argue that ..definitely curmudgeonly ..as for appreciating stoneware...Not only do i appreciate it i have watched almost every bonsai pot making on YouTube and have been applying to my potters guild for 5years now. its very hard to get in you pretty much have to wait till someone dies for a members spot to open.
"At least until the younger ones grow and mature enough to get beyond the juvenile attachment to gadgets"
Im sure a cell phone/computer is in your hand as much as the next persons welcome to 2022.
What actually pisses me off about your comment on this post is the fact this was just supposed to be happy proud look what i made post and you had to turn it into a generation unappreciation rant.
I uploaded some of my art in oils and pastels that i dont appreciate for your viewing pleasure

Of course!!!Can be done with ceramic
Just need the proper space and a kiln!
I talked to a lady with a kiln she fires up to cone 6, she said she can teach me a couple things and fire for me when she finds some spare time so here is hoping!!
