I’ve noticed that perfect pour really shines with a Narrow Spout pitcher — have you tried one yet? :hot_beverage:.

I’ve found that the right pitcher can really elevate your pouring game, kind of like how a good pair of shoes can turn a walk into a dance! Have you tried incorporating different pitcher shapes in your practice sessions, @amelia_sips23?

When I’m pouring, I find that keeping the pitcher low helps to control the flow better, especially for intricate designs. Have you tried adjusting your pouring angle to see how it affects your art?
