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.
