Being right doesn't make you good"
Thanks 🙂.
I waited until the mugs were leather hard to use the roller, and then I also supported the inside of the wall with my other hand.
I'm still figuring out the best level of firmness, though lol.
Too wet and they warp.
Too dry and they just break lol

That is probably what I'll do too 🤣🤣🤣

Thanks 😊.
I'll think of some craft project to use the broken pots for.
Cuz the pots themselves are intact 😁.

I'm also 100% happy to explain/describe the process I use in great detail if you want to chat in DMs sometime 🙂.
And other methods too, cuz I've tried a lot, and just settled on the one that works best for me lol.

There's lots of videos on YouTube 🙂.
Just search
*Wild clay processing*

Lots of different methods too.
I did a short video on my preferred method about a month ago, but the method you use sometimes depends on what equipment you have or can affordably get.

Fortunately, I've been making and breaking pottery long enough that I can identify what went wrong just by looking at them lol.
So I'm gonna make some more and test my theories 🙂.

It's always a good idea to NOT eat things when you're not 100% sure what they are 🙂.

Goumiberry is in the silverberry family.
It's very similar in appearance, flower, and aroma to the Autumn and Russian Olive, but it produces a lot more fruit 🙂.

It's one of my favorites 😁

Other than the obvious carnage 😆, I really like the color too 😁

I'll be opening the kiln later this afternoon 😁

Thanks ☺️.
They're probably the coolest handles I've ever made 😄
