New to the family of porcelain and home clay

Family of three, latest is top left.
This is the latest of my free form bowls with porcelain 5 clay mixed/layered with my home clays, biggest so far at about 12" across. No glaze or glass this time just natural colors of clay.

Clays were hand folded many times together and rolled to sheet before hand forming the bowl and exposing the rim textures and some carving. Fired at cone 5.

  3. Such a great organic look. It's tricky to achieve that without looking forced. Love the layering and edges.

    Happy New Year!

  4. Thanks John, look forward to seeing you in the sudio!. Great New Year to you too!
    Do you think it is better unglazed as I chose or some added color/texture? I'll bring it in for your critical thinking input. This is a direction I want to continue to explore, but bigger if I can get the clay to work with me.
