Hollow Forms
A Hollow Form has an opening smaller than it's diameter, adding mystery about what is inside! But throughout ancient times these forms in pottery and wood had the practical advantage of being spill resistant and easily capped. With thousands of years of human refinement we
have inherited a well developed sense of what is a pleasing hollow form.
