RAD before RAD

Drag a finger or the mouse and watch idea become hand, material, and RAD.

What came out of the kiln

The making log

From the first line to the last look, as the workshop recorded it.

Unexpected changes

In the kiln the handle bent a little further. We left it. That lean is what made this RAD a RAD.

Marks of the hand

We did not hide the making marks. Tap a point and see where it came from.

Where is this RAD now?

The crooked-handle family

They stay unique. They share DNA, not identical designs.

Care

Hand wash only, lukewarm water, no thermal shock. Lift from the body, not the handle.
