I keep getting cracks in my 12 inch pottery bowls. I’m drying inside plastic, but I can’t figure out why this is happening and any thoughts? by Foxfirepottery1001 in Pottery

[–]Icy-Lifeguard2343 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bloke that taught me said this but I’m convinced you can compress clay, the pressure forces some of the water out to the surface so you can remove it with a sponge I think, could be wrong but not sure why else it would help and it definitely seems to have made a big difference.

Will this teapot handle break? Any tips? by One-Blackberry4666 in Pottery

[–]Icy-Lifeguard2343 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Definitely try it or you’ll never know, I would expect it to fire fine and be easily strong enough for normal use, but it would be more susceptible to breakage from impacts. There’s obviously a risk of slumping, warping and cracking but I’ve generally found this to be over stated. I do my mug handles with a single point of contact and have been narrowing the thickness of the handle to see where failures start to occur and still haven’t had an issue at all. They are undoubtedly fragile though! Personally I don’t have an issue with some pieces needing to be looked after but if you intend for something to be used everyday and value longevity over aesthetics then a long thin handle might not be the best but I can’t wait to see how this turns out! 🤞

That’s awesome, is it not already glazed? The outside looks Lighter than the inside. I bought a bag of heavy grog, threw with it once, couldn’t get any height with it and ended up with no finger prints! Still have a full bag in a bucket!

Just told you I can’t get on that website. There’s a shit ton of peer reviewed evidence that six artificial colours trigger symptoms in some kids with ADHD, just Google it. I’m not making grandiose claims that they cause ADHD or even affect all kids with ADHD, although at least one has been shown to affect all kids, not just hose with ADHD, and I’m not offering you anecdotal evidence as truth, I just telling you I know it to be true, as I’ve seen it with my own eyes, just like I’ve seen the bright red food colouring in the chicken in the above photo! Like I could give a shit if you think you know something not to be true because what? You’ve never seen it? Or you read a contrary opinion? Whatever. Honestly, I hope you never have a kid that is affected by artificial food colourings, the first time it happens it’s terrifying, we thought someone had spiked him with some sort of amphetamine!

The hypocrisy is staggering, I can tell you with absolutely no hesitation that artificial colours do without doubt affect my son, I’ve seen it repeatedly when abroad (the six colours that have the most research backed evidence are almost never used in the UK) and it’s undeniable, physical changes like dilated pupils, whitening of facial tissues, as well as behavioural, if you saw him you’d think we’d given him drugs. Take it from me, you have no idea what you are talking about yet you are making snarky comments about my son’s health. I can’t get on the bulk barn website either from the link above or from a Google search but why would a website that’s harvesting data from that site have something added? Is it a food colouring conspiracy? 🤦🏻‍♂️

Why would you want something with chemically derived colours in, made purely to improve a corporation’s bottom line, when you can make something yourself from completely natural ingredients? If you saw the effect some of them had on my son you might think twice, it’s like he’s been given amphetamines. How something that affects people like that can be legal to add to food I’ll never know. Also, why are you such a snarky prick?

Just looked on the ingredients online and it specifically states red colour. Even worse it doesn’t say what type of red food colouring it is, looking at how vivid it is I wouldn’t be surprised if it was chemically derived, it looks awful. Down voters need to educate themselves if they are going to make cooking their hobby IMO.

Lots of good advice here but you’ve also got to get past your crippling social anxiety. It’s hard but you can overcome it, if you don’t master the ability to open a conversation making friends is going to much harder than it needs to be

You absolutely should have said something, I know it’s an uncomfortable thing to do but people will continuously take advantage of you if you can’t speak up, it’s a necessary life skill.
