  • Question
    How durable would the pot be if it is not fired in a kiln?
    Community Answer
    Firing makes clay waterproof and strong. However, unfired pot can last a long time if it is not handled too much, and does not come in contact with water.

  • Question
    Why does the pottery crack if I use salt dough?
    Community Answer
    It is the salt that is the culprit. When salt is in dough, it takes the moisture out of the dough and it cracks.

  • Question
    Can I use watercolors?
    Community Answer
    In my experience, no. Watercolors will peel and crack. Use tempera paints, usually available at your local craft store. If you cannot find them at craft stores, try Amazon.
