Excuse my asking but am I right you are putting porcelain lip on stoneware clay? Have you tested to see if they shrink equally. Adding anything to e a bond? I like the blue bowl very much. Agate ware might also be fun.
Thanks for liking my stuff. You are absolutely correct. Yes it is porcelain slip on stoneware. I apply the slip right after I finish throwing on the wheel when the clay is still wet. Have I tested i? I guess I am testing along the way. I have a few pieces done a few weeks ago and they are still looking fine after bisque firing. Hopefully, they won't crack or fall apart later.
I didn't add anything for bonding though. Will try agate next time. I think I will like it too. :)
