Rolled out a slab of paper clay into a rough circle the size I needed. Did not trim the edges as I wanted them ragged and uneven I dropped the slab into a bowl and cut out some of the extra, making deep folds. It sat in the bowl until sufficiently hardened to support itself. Then I textured the outside with a lava rock. I tried pouring some slip down the inside of the bowl to give a molten lava effect but but it didn't make much difference in the finished project. Because it was made of paper clay, I was able to dry it in a day by placing it outside in the 110 degree heat. I almost messed up! :o I made the bowl at work and didn't take my kiln sizing template, I didn't even measure it, I just assumed it would fit into the kiln. It did but JUST BARELY!!! Glazed and done
