How did it get smashed prior? Looks almost woven, I really like it!
Dropped another piece onto it and caved in one side :(
Amazing! Its a shame it didnt make it but ver 2 will probably have all kinds of improvements!
Would braiding clay like that do the opposite of giving it strength? Normally braiding works, but pottery is brittle, so I would expect each strand to have more brittle connections.
Looks cool though
Probably, you can already see some cracking in the stands. I did make another taller braided cylinder that made it through both bisque and glaze, but I don’t like it much, as the braids are much less even than this one.
