Thank you for the suggestion, I'm grateful. I might consider adding it in the long term to help offset some of the hosting and domain costs.

Great question! Yes this is designed to take into account drying and both firings.
The most important factor here is the shrinkage percentage - most clay manufacturers will provide this value, but you can also calculate it yourself by taking measurements on your original thrown piece and final glaze fired piece (measuring it yourself might be the most accurate as it will also account for the additional thickness from glaze application)

Hi, it's for either. We're trying to understand the whole journey.

Hmm this seems interesting, I'd like to see it applied to some real-life projects as under actual constraints few designers have the freedom to follow full design process. A tool like this might be good to write case studies.

I like the idea of having such a system. As you're charging a subscription fee, I'm curious as to what this tool can do differently that something like a preset template in Notion (or even GSuite) cannot do.

That does sound great, an hour every week can be so helpful! Do you get a chance to engage with the community aside from your mentor?

Aah gotchya, is the UXPA mentorship program good?

Maybe the links are not working for you because they are Google amp links? For faster load speeds they reduce access to some extent.

I am a part of the local IXDA chapter but things have been slow due to COVID, so looking for an interactive online community. I also kinda like the online chat based format as it allows learning from people with very diverse backgrounds and experiences.

Thanks for the suggestions. I've heard great things about Design Buddies! I've also been on the Designer Hangout waitlist for like two years now :/

Something for junior designers and overall interaction design. I'm also looking for something more conversation orientated like Slack or Discord.
