    OH NOOOOOOOOO!
    Maybe every potter does this, no matter how long they have been working?

    Doug, just bury it in the ground and one day when someone digs it up it'll end up in a Museum.

    I have just discovered that you can put thin pots (up to about 5mm) in the kiln and heat them to 80 C for a few hours before bisque firing to dry them out. I just fired some damp mugs which I had thrown the day before in this way and they didn't crack.

    Thank you Linda B, you're right, I think that long preheat is the answer
