Learn ceramics online: Properly manage the drying of your pieces

Create the perfect drying environment to prevent your pieces from cracking.

In this online course, I finally demystify the best practices for properly managing the drying of your clay pieces.

Improper drying can hinder subsequent steps, such as turning or attaching handles. Drying too quickly can cause cracks or further deform the pieces.

The key to successfully completing your pottery projects is to execute each step at the correct consistency. To achieve this, you must carefully control the drying process of the pieces.

• How can we slow down the drying process if we have to be away from the workshop for several days?
• How can I humidify a room that is too dry to allow me to install a handle without any problems?

I take the time to explain each situation so that you can understand and master the drying process according to your ceramic projects.

In just 10 minutes, learn how to control, stop, slow down, speed up or reverse the drying of your ceramic pieces:

• The ideal clay consistencies to suit your needs
• Practical tools to have on hand for optimal drying
• The environment and its effects on drying

Lesson duration: 10 min.
