|
| Too little temper in the
paste has caused this pot (made by David Verity) to fall apart while drying. |
Cracking is a common problem
at all stages of production and especially across flat surfaces. |
Chemicals in the paste are
the likely reason behind the 'spalling' of this pot (made by David Verity). |
|
|
|
| Expanding water or air during
the firing chipped parts of the surface off this pot (made by David Verity). |
Reduction of organic materials
has rendered the decoration on this pot (made by David Verity) almost invisible. |
Partly also by luck this
pot, inspired by the 'spouted bowls' of the Eastern Desert, turned out as
intended. |
