Porcelain has a memory.....


Porcelain has a memory and cannot be reshaped ... you shape it and then you change it. After firing it returns to how it was initially. So you have just one chance to make it......I think this is amazing and adds interest to me to a material that has such delicate and ethereal qualities but which is strong and durable and obviously quiet clever, it likes to keep it's strength and not be weakened by being messed about, once it's mind is made up, it's thrown, it holds tight...incredible...
