The corners are definitely a potential crack point. I know the clay is formulated for art-has something (grog?) to help a little bit with cracking. Also, one of the secrets to success is to dry slow—let the clay shrink at an even rate. So far, it’s holding up—the next big test will be the kiln!

So I am going to Wrap it up in plastic again and hopefully rehydrate the clay so that I could do some more work.<br/><br/>#pottery #art #sheep #carving #kentucky #hamdmade #workinProgress<br/> <img src="https://cdn.masto.host/indiewebsocial/media_attachments/files/117/141/881/643/620/334/original/57a290d052126817.jpeg"> <br/> 2026-08-23T00:02:44Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqsr6qhsd665ktrp40sjm3qku0gxlsragy7lzpr0m6ffq9z4724dwhszypskc9rhdmujcclae2gddynlc4uv7f3mvnjm25d2p3uqul33wdnzs5fh8th In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs2f072vddhvv3r2kpk4f8k364ckfum2j25vtyz0u4h2d0huq79hpg374876'>nevent1q…4876</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>yes, the xacto knife is exact--although my hand not always steady, lol! 2026-08-22T21:14:31Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqswq7rgq0tjn5jz7xf6424yph998f67hnr7y68ksl98xkjhjtur5lqzypskc9rhdmujcclae2gddynlc4uv7f3mvnjm25d2p3uqul33wdnzsnjag26 Platter feels just a little bit flaky and chalky.
