Porcelain bowl


My first attempt was slabbing, creating a thick slab the right dimensions and then working and stretching it into the mould carefully using a damp sponge.




Even after trimming the rim, the result was uneven messy. So I decided to slipcast it instead.

It still needed a little tidying so I left it to set a little bit after I removed it from the cast so as not to distort the shape. It's been interesting working with porcelain. It's got a different texture and structure than earthenware; it's more plasticine-y.

Next up, attaching the head to the bowl.
