Week 7 Readings
2. Home ceramics: what you can do safely and successfully
2.1. 2-minute Practice: Choose your home project
In 2 minutes, choose ONE:
A) cup/bowl/plate (tableware)
B) small vase
Write:
-
Project choice (one sentence)
-
Two risks (from: cracking/warping/weak joins/collapse)
-
One mitigation idea for each risk
REVEAL (Example)
Project: “I will make a small coil-built vase for display.”
Risks: cracking at joins; collapse while too wet.
Mitigation: score + compress joins carefully; build in stages and let the clay firm up between stages.
