Pottery Tip
S cracking can occur on pieces that dry unevenly, for instance if you take your bowl and put it in front of a fan. Other reasons for S cracks are leaving water in the bottom of your piece before you put it away

Handmade Pottery, Sculptural Pottery, Free Standing Sculptures, and Ceramic Wall Murals made using red earthenware clay. Each of my pieces is constructed using traditional handbuilding methods, slabs, thrown on a pottery wheel or in several methods combined. I mix my own glazes and slips to ensure the highest quality results. I offer a variety of pieces on my website and truly enjoy working on commissioned wall murals, sculptures and other pottery projects.
Buying Pottery Tip
Don't be afraid to ask an artisan questions before you buy. Most are more than happy to answer any questions about their work, such as how it is made or the materials used. Better to ask if something is safe for use with food or the microwave than find out the hard way and possibly ruin your favorite piece.

Pottery Firing Tip
You are likely to get a spiral crack up the side of your pot during firing if you put a thick layer of glaze on the inside and no glaze or a thin layer of glaze on the outside.

Always run a dry brush all over the bisque you are about to paint. It will remove ceramic dust left behind by the cleanup process and the kilning process.
