Ah this so mesmerizing. So sorry it exploded. I saw a video about debunking pottery myths the other day and he was talking about really slowly turning up the heat in the kiln to prevent objects to explode or crack because of trapped air or moisture. It worked for him. Maybe it can help? Thank you for sharing your hits and misses. Love your dreamlike creations.
Thanks for showing us the fails as well as the successes. How were the layers attached to each other? I did not see the use of slip or anything else to attach one layer to the other.
