How I fix cracked pottery! 

Love watching your channel…. Just wanted to suggest using a make shift damping box instead. Get a bucket with a good lid that comes off easily. Get a car sponge (one of the big ones we typically use to clean up) poor @1/2” to 1 “ of water- less than half the sponge height laying flat. Place the piece on the sponge and leave it for usually 3-7days. It will come back slowly and not cause any cracking elsewhere. This technique is also good if a piece dried out of round or has an indent that needs to be fixed. The redampening does take longer but without fighting over wetting etc. Hope it’s helpful for you in the future.

I have to tell you. I was explaining slip to my 6 yr old granddaughter when she interrupted me, "you don't have to tell me about slip nanna, I've learnt all about it from Hobble Creek!" Apparently, she's been watching all your videos on my phone when she visits! Anyway your cracks video is very informative and my granddaughter watched it with me!

You are amazing and a great teacher.wish I was closer to you! In PA. Love the mug by the way...watched the video I believe where you made it.

Really clever. And cute fish.

Another helpful video- Thank you 😊

Oh, gosh, thank you for your video. I personally think if I make something and it cracks, it's a gonner. Our teacher tells us not to fall in love with anything we make until it's home😂. ❤

Great tips, thank you

I saw that from Vaughan and I’m going to try fish too!

Ahhh you are such an inspiration. Thank you for a very worthwhile video. The mug turned out great btw! Greetings from England

Great tip. I'm also a fan of Vaughn. He could have started a fish epidemic😂.

I loved it.... except my cracks are happening after it's fired. "cracked bisques". >.

I was amazed that it worked. In my beginner status that pot would be a success, not a 'second' at all. Thanks for filming this journey from potential recycle to success🎉

Cool. I'm going to give it a go with a cracked mug handle I just have had sitting on the shelf that I know I should recycle but I just haven't been able to destroy just because it's just the most perfect shape/size/form. I have recycled others without a second thought but every time I pick this one up to recycle it I can't bring myself to do it. so I put it back on the drying shelf. It's just so nice..... bar a small crack, tiny tiny crack.... but it is porcelain so.... wish me luck 🤣🤣🤣

ممنونم حالا یاد گرفتم چی کار کنم😇

Huge fan of Vaughn ( westcote pottery). Felt so bad about his tragedy and there he was smiling and saying how fortunate he was. What a marvelous person, so thank you for planning fish. My class starts again soon and I'm going to attempt to make one as well because I was planning on buying one from him. So let's do our part to help make this wonderful person a little happier. Wish me luck I'm only a 1 year potter.

Amazing Gurl!!! I’ve never tried dunking a piece in water before! I typically will use a damp box and rehydrate it slowly! I’ll have to try that! Thanks for the video! Love how we share!! Xo

Hi. This was interesting. I've tried fixing cracks ... sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't ... mostly doesn't 😅. I have a friend who does decoupage. She takes the ones I stuff up, and they look awesome once she's decoupaged them. I watch Vaughn Smith, as well. I'm going to make a fish after watching his last video.

I allways use the dry clay of the pot grind it to a powder add dry gum Arabic half and half then make into loose paste not too dry and fill cracks in dry or damp pots and I have had hundred percent success I also always use the same mix to join pottery and I have never had any joins come apart thank you for your joining method I think it will be useful for people to know different methods good potting

I saw Vaughans video and it was great. I cant wait to see your version of fish too.

Thanks that's a great tip

Great tutorial. Thank you

I have a question: how heavy (weight) is a finished cup from you? I have the feeling that my cups are always too heavy

Beautiful 😍 Would you please share how you achievemed the beautiful texture? Is it a rolling pin? Thanks
