Experience
I've been a potter since the early 80's. I started slip casting in the late 80's.
My designs are all my own. Each has taken years to develop. The teapot has evolved over time. starting out as a 40 once beast and now a more manageable 16 ounce vessel.
The braille cup, Sixdot Braile Products, was born in 1986 but also involved several years development. It was finally introduced in 1997.
The textures were originally born as surfaces for ergonomic handles for the braille cups. Liking them better not as handles I decided to use them as surfaces for pots. The process of deciding upon the best application for the textures has also been a 10 year endeavor.
