Teapot disaster!

My ugly little teapot didn’t survive the biscuit firing.


It turns out that the base was too thick, and it obviously still held a little moisture so it exploded in the kiln!



A little disappointing, but a learning curve no less.

Next time I will concentrate more on the thickness of the clay throughout.

I am just pleased the explosion didn’t wreck anyone else's work.
