Throwing a Square Dish | Daniel Pratap Pottery

Welcome to this video on my pottery channel making a square dish thrown on the wheel. I was a contestant on the BBC TWO programme "The Great Pottery Throw Down" Series 2.
Apologises for some of the shots, we're still trying to work out what angles work best.
A video of how to attach the handles to pots will be coming soon.

I've tried this method twice and both times the base is cracking on me (in the drying phase). I'm drying the pieces very slowly (over several weeks) and I've compressed the base. Any idea of what I could do to avoid this? How thick does the base need to be, as that could be my issue?
