TROUBLESOME SQUARES


Square dishes seen from above

I have an order for 10 square dishes which is proving to be somewhat troublesome. Out of about 12 made so far, only 6 are okay, problems with cracking, and clay contaminated bleeding in some areas...aah ceramics!
Looking for something to encourage me I googled 'square' and found this rather sound quotation by Abraham Lincoln which seems rather sensible and grounding...

Do not worry; eat three square meals a day; say your prayers; be courteous to your creditors; keep your digestion good; exercise; go slow and easy. Maybe there are other things your special case requires to make you happy, but my friend, these I reckon will give you a good lift. - Lincoln, Abraham
