Composition
Each member of our group worked with a 500-gram portion of clay tempered according to the proportions below.
| Material | Weight (g) | Percent weight (%) |
|---|---|---|
| Clay | 500 | 82.92 |
| Sand | 80 | 13.7 |
| Gravel | 16 | 2.7 |
| Sawdust | 4 | 0.68 |
| TOTAL | 600 | 100 |
Vessel measurements and losses
Every group member took measurements of their pot once they finished working. We left the pots to dry for about a day, and then took replicate measurements. The following tables will be updated as time goes on and as we record more measurements (after one week, before firing, and after firing).
