Another great destination is Speculum Alchemiae in Prague, which has a Scooby Doo hidden staircase and a pair of secret underground kilns

Experts now believe the kiln found under a primary school dates from the late medieval period.

So #potters - crazing is a glaze fit issue right? Not a problem that firing hotter would solve, say cone 6 instead of 5? Or would I have to test that to see?

I tried making #ceramic scoops for the first time, following instructions from an article that I will link in the comments just in case anyone else wants to try it. I get why #potters would congregate on apps where video content is prioritized bc it’s a great opportunity to share your process as a maker. But as a largely self-taught potter who uses the Internet as a resource, social media has never been as helpful to me for learning new techniques as articles and longer-length videos.

Any recommendations for #potters in #Scotland? I need a new really big, durable, quirky mug. Or two. My attempt at wabi-sabi on the ancient mug has failed
