when throwing large (8 – 10lbs) my bowls slump. cutting them open shows that they are same thickness. why?
this happens both with stoneware and porcelain. no cracking happens and they bisque/glaze fire well. help please.
They are either too thin for their size, or the clay has too much moisture in it. You may be either starting with clay that’s too wet, or adding too much water to the wheel when you are working it.
