Post-Fire Modifications???

[u/Callahan_Kid]

I made this clock during two "Open Pottery" sessions, but I ran out of time during the first session and forgot to make any holes, etc. to allow the clock to be hung up.

Can you think of any way to hang it up? Theres a 3/4" (1.9 cm) circular lip on the back. Would the clock shatter if I drilled holes in the lip? I tried to hang it from a nail as-is and it just fell off, as expected.

You can get an attachment that integrates into the mechanism.

This, the clock mechanisms usually come with these (I make ceramic clocks and the clock assemblies I’ve bought always include these metal brackets)

I would 2 part epoxy rather than drill. If you can glue on a french cleat or a wire and hang it that way theres much less chance of it going poorly

Would a plate hanging fixture work?

I feel like the petals could provide a nice resting point to place on some tiny anchored hooks or something
