Its incredibly plastic compared to whatever I was using before. When fired it supposedly is very like porcelain but does not dry as fast and is easier to work with than porcelain. I'm thinking I'm going to make more using some rough stonewear that fires brown. I'm thinking that it would make the glazes more interesting. I don't have much experience in glazing so I'm somewhat intimidated by that step because of not truely knowing what it will look like until after its fired.
