Slip - Slab - Cracks

Oh dear, cracks have appeared in my slip slab forms, on the base.  I have made new forms today and have taken steps to avoid previous mistakes, such as :  drying on newspaper, thinner bases, scoring and slipping and covering with plastic wrap as the forms dry.  I will find out tomorrow if my efforts are successful.

Today we also made up another 25 kg of clay into slip for yet more slab work and future slip-casting.  I now have a design in mind and a plan for production.
