So I recently started playing with clay. I have a kiln after all, so why not?
It has been years since I’ve made bowls, pots, mugs and anything else with clay, so it sounded like fun. I made a small bowl, carved it all up with a pretty design and let it dry for a week.
Last night I was out in the shop and saw it was bone dry finally and put it in the kiln. A few hours later I ventured out to take a peek to make sure everything was going fine when I found this.
Oops. I guess I should’ve fired it at low heat for a while first to make sure there was no internal moisture left.
So until then I guess I just make sure quick crappy bowls until I get it figured out. No point in putting all that time into something fancy when this will be the outcome.
Anyone have some tips for me?
