One of my favourite Voulkos lines "I've never seen a crack, I didn't like."
Well, there has been posts on what causes s cracks and how to prevent them-
change clays was one of them.
I get s cracks when throwing off the hump and I've compressed till the cows
come home. I have two remedies that I have learned that hide the nasty
crack. David Shaner demonstrated taking a dollup of clay and putting it in
the middle of the footring after trimming and throwing it over where the
crack will some it's ugly little face. He added a little whoppee to make it
look like a trimmed whoppee. David Hendley holds a bisque dildo on the
inside of the t-bowl and in the foortring puts the same wee dollup and
presses his chop mark into the dollup. This compresses the crack between the
dildo and the chop stamp. I have used both methods and it hides the crack.
i was tempted to use the subject headline of cracks and dildos, but I knew I
was pushing my luck with the desert blonde.
Say no to cracks.
Cheers,
Tony
