— the story
Why we built this experience.
Throwing a pot is harder than the internet makes it look. It is also more satisfying.
Our kumhar-master is the third generation of his family at the wheel. He doesn't lecture — he shows, you copy, you fail, you laugh, you try again.
What you take home will be small, lopsided, and yours. We've watched grown engineers cry with delight at it.
