You get the look of porcelain without as many problems. It's just hard to purchase at a good price around here.Michèle Hastingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11346907762804197879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3116910306520528915.post-21372166779505806692015-02-11T09:39:05.452-05:002015-02-11T09:39:05.452-05:00This is Helios from Highwater, which is new to me....This is Helios from Highwater, which is new to me. I have also used their P10 which is a little less expensive. I think the P10 is easier to throw. I personally prefer Laguna B-mix. It's not a true porcelain but it's white, easier to throw, and less prone to cracking.Michèle Hastingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11346907762804197879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3116910306520528915.post-88513143492296268402015-02-11T08:59:30.468-05:002015-02-11T08:59:30.468-05:00I equate porcelain to that person that makes you n...I equate porcelain to that person that makes you need therapy, it only remembers anything bad that has happened to it and none of the good. However, it is beautiful.<br />Lana Wilson sings the praises of paperclay porcelain, it throws beautifully and doesn’t crack. Have you ever tried that?Lori Buffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00233955188892423314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3116910306520528915.post-2434179787668534392015-02-10T23:13:25.146-05:002015-02-10T23:13:25.146-05:00porcelain is so beautiful. what porcelain do yo us...porcelain is so beautiful. what porcelain do yo use? when I was firing cone 10 I tried some windsor porcelain by Laguna which I really liked good for hand building and throwing and little to no cracking; hope the new bats work outLinda Starrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04364078667554676592noreply@blogger.com
