Day 6

Crack pot

White clay, majolica clay, 

iron and manganese oxide

For the start I added some majolica clay to the bottom of the pot.

And then I started to make cracks.

What I had in mind was to fill up the cracks with an iron oxide

 and then when it dries completely to sand the surface of the pot with fine sandpaper.

It would reveal nice red cracks on smooth, white surface.

But somehow, I like it this way and I think I will leave the surface as it is.

Maybe I will sand just the inside of the pot.

UPDATE: Cracked on the way to kiln :(
