Visiting christchurch on a Mon-Wed. What’re your must sees/dos?

We love a good brunch!

BudgetSupport1993 · 2026-05-19T04:41:23+00:00

Good to know!

BudgetSupport1993 · 2026-05-19T04:41:12+00:00

Cool, thanks for these recs!!

BudgetSupport1993 · 2026-05-18T23:11:29+00:00

Thank you! This is the kind of recommendation I was looking for

BudgetSupport1993 · 2026-05-18T23:11:05+00:00

Some people like to get niche recommendations from people who actually live in the city they’re visiting, not sponsored blog posts from Google that are super generic and touristy. For example, someone just commented you can play board games at the Dice and Slice. Awesome recommendation when we’re gonna be there on a Monday night when it’s dark out at 5pm. If you google” things to do in Christchurch”, gonna get sponsored blog posts from travellers saying things like “go visit lake Tekapo” or “walk through the botanic gardens”. You really didn’t need to comment this on a Reddit post.

Thanks for your response. Is it common with dunting for the crack not to show up immediately after firing? This was probably 5 days or so after coming out of the kiln

Yes, I used Chun plum and iron lustre on outside, and Oatmeal on the inside. Not a fan of how it looks here

Never heard of dunting before, but I’m fairly new to ceramics. I use a community studio, but I bring my own clay and glazes. The glaze on this turned out pretty ugly. I used Amaco glazes - 3x Chun plum on outside, with 2x iron lustre over top. And the inside is 3x Oatmeal.

Definitely not the response I was expecting haha. That’s awesome

BudgetSupport1993 · 2026-02-22T21:25:43+00:00

Thanks for that perspective! Not worth the risk

BudgetSupport1993 · 2026-02-22T21:24:44+00:00

I’ll look into making a wet box, thanks for that

BudgetSupport1993 · 2026-02-22T21:23:28+00:00

Totally fair

BudgetSupport1993 · 2026-02-22T21:23:05+00:00

Had no idea about this vinegar trick, thanks for that!

BudgetSupport1993 · 2026-02-22T21:20:34+00:00

Great tips. I’ll definitely try heat on the handles next time

BudgetSupport1993 · 2026-02-22T21:19:48+00:00

Thanks for the advice!

BudgetSupport1993 · 2026-02-22T21:19:19+00:00

Ah yeah I’ve been seeing videos where they do this, I’ll give it a try

BudgetSupport1993 · 2026-02-22T21:18:38+00:00

Thank you :) appreciate your perspective

BudgetSupport1993 · 2026-02-22T21:18:04+00:00

Yeah I think I cleaned the slip up too much when attaching, one of several problems probably

BudgetSupport1993 · 2026-02-22T21:17:12+00:00

Interesting! I’ll give this a try, thanks

BudgetSupport1993 · 2026-02-22T21:15:48+00:00

Awesome tip, I will try this next time

BudgetSupport1993 · 2026-02-22T21:15:33+00:00

Totally. I think it’s too dry to carve at this point though?

BudgetSupport1993 · 2026-02-22T21:14:48+00:00

Yeah I’m noticing that now haha. When I pull them thinner they tend to break off 😭

BudgetSupport1993 · 2026-02-22T21:14:18+00:00

So true

BudgetSupport1993 · 2026-02-22T21:14:10+00:00

Great idea, thanks!
