"I have been wanting to create pottery for a long time, and when I got the chance to do it, I took the opportunity and created my first mug. Unfortunately, it cracked before I even got it in the kiln. After I glazed it, the glaze actually sealed the crack, so it was actually unintentional.

"I hadn't done pottery in about two years, so this was how I revisited pottery. I am proud of how the crack sealed and that it looks super cool. 

"I want people to know that the crack was an accident."
