Cup Study

I made a few yunomi for the Steelhead Festival, but was sad to see half had s-cracks. I wet them down, sliced 'em in half, to see what the issue was. These are the ones that died and were dissected for the sake of advance knowledge...


I didn't realize I had a tendency to leave the base so thick! I'm glad these didn't survive. I'm not posting pics of all the cuts, but these next two show the trend... I'm happy with the wall thickness, but the floor needs attention...


I have picked up a few tips since making these, and I just need more practice to make sure I've got the new standard down. Happy learning mistakes!
