i seem to be having a problem with s-cracks or cracks on EVERYTHING I make, even my handuilding. All the bottoms are cracking. What am I doing wrong? I blew out the bottoms of both glug jugs AND my teapot glug jugs and the project is already late and I am so dang frustrated! I just dont seem to have the energy to do pottery and these projects on…

Did the cracks show up before or after firing?
If before: S-cracks are from the bottom not drying evenly (from what I have learned so far). When throwing, it can be contributed to water being left in the bottom of the vessel and/or not turning the piece over quickly enough so the bottom can dry out. I haven’t done a lot of hand-building yet,…

one was before, one was after. one i trimmed the bottom too thin compared to the walls i think. the other i did not smooth my coils together tight enough i think.

Im in western Canada. Plainsman Clay is our goto company here. I use m370, plainsman coffee clay (dark body ^6), and polar ice porcelain all at ^6.

Laguna B-Mix and Speckled Buff are popular.
A lot of people like clay by Kentucky Mudworks.

I use B-Mix too and it’s very popular at the studio I belong to. But I have to say it’s not my favorite, I love Lugana 608 for its speckles and for an easy mid fire porcelain I like Standard 123 or 213 – I get the number wrong so much I can’t remember. I use B-Mix only because I get it for free when people don’t want to bother reclaiming theirs.
