Love this thread!

Babalu - a question about the sand. I've been wanting to do this to avoid splitting on the bottom of my mugs (which can get rather heavy), but I have a few questions. First - what kind of sand do you use? And I am guessing it bonds with the clay - do you then sand it off after the firing? And finally, do you use the sand on both the bisque and the glaze firing? A big mahalo for sharing your knowledge with the TC gang!
