Forty surahis out of the kiln, two lost
Opened the kiln at first light. Forty-two went in, forty came out whole — the two that cracked were both from the batch I rushed the drying on, which is what always happens and what I always do anyway. The red is deeper this time; the cow-dung burned hotter than I expected.

Why your terracotta pot sweats (and why that is correct)
People message me thinking the pot is faulty because the outside is damp. That damp IS the cooling — water moves through the clay wall and evaporates, and evaporation is what drops the temperature inside. Never seal or paint a water pot. If it stops sweating, it has stopped working.
