nice looking pot, love the outside texture and colour. My only criticism… (which is just a pet hate of mine) is the top glaze doesn’t go down low enough inside the top of the pot. I find if the soil level is a bit low it shows the clay colour along with glaze drips down the inside. Like I said just my pet hate. My opinion only.
I like what you've done here. That's a shame about the cracks after all that effort, but keep up the good work. Onwards and upwards!
According to many potters I know it does occasionally happen to even the best of them. 
Go to your local repco or burson auto parts and get a glue called Q-bond. It has a graphite powder that yoh sprinkle on the the glue to help it set stronger.Watto wrote:Last year the NBPCA announced a pot acquisition prize and although I am only an enthusiastic amateur I thought I would like to make a pot to enter into the competition. There was no chance of winning but just participating is the fun part.
So in November I started the design, then commenced the construction. That was followed by a few months of drying, a bisque firing, glaze application and then the final firing. Four months of anticipation coming down to this weeks kiln opening
Disappointment to say the least! Although the outside looks good in my opinion, the inside not so good
