LPpottery Posted September 15, 2016 Report Share Posted September 15, 2016 I made a 25 inch ceramic sculpture that is a twisted cylinder shape. In the drying and firing process it became a bit unstable. I am entering it in a show and I need to stabilize the structure. It has an opening in the top but you can't see the bottom. What would you recommend to put in the vessel to add weight to stabilize it? I have thought about rocks, sand, or pouring plaster in the bottom. Any suggestions?

Mark C. Posted September 15, 2016 Report Share Posted September 15, 2016 If its made for outside I would use a material that will hold up to that environment -if it inside the plaster or a few lead weights would work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flowerdry Posted September 16, 2016 Report Share Posted September 16, 2016 If it has an opening in the top, it would really only be suitable for indoor use. Sand sounds the best to me...least likely to damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ayjay Posted September 17, 2016 Report Share Posted September 17, 2016 You could try Museum Gel or Museum Putty and stick it (removable) to whatever it's standing on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
