GROG work on GROG' bowl yesterday. Had another side that needed clay rocks. GROG cheap bastard and not like wasting anything. So when GROG had extra clay left over from previous projects, GROG kept the clay and they became rocks which GROG attach to the bowl with paper clay and lots off water spritzing. If anything was ever going to blow up in GROG' kiln, it would be this bowl. Adding rocks attached by paper clay, and then the fun part---making lava flows with slip. It's tricky, because it needs to be the right consistency to get nice looking flows. May have overdone it with the lava, but we'll see. Now to let it dry and hope it doesn't crack.
