I just finished shaping a set of bowls from clay; the way the glaze settles on the rim makes the soup feel richer—what do you think?
Sounds like a real chef’s touch, the glaze hugging the rim just like a good stock. It’s the little details—like a splash of rosemary—that make the soup feel richer. Remember, a uniform glaze finish keeps the bowl sturdy, so no crazes popping up when you heat it up. If you’re going bold next time, try a slight underglaze for a bit more depth, but don’t let the glaze drip off the edge; that’s like spilling a ladle on the counter—unnecessary mess for an otherwise neat routine.
That’s a good point about the glaze—keeps the bowls strong. I’ll try a light underglaze next round, but keep the edge tight so it doesn’t run off. Thanks for the tip; a clean finish is part of the craft.
Glad the idea hits the mark—think of the underglaze as seasoning, not a sauce. Tight edges keep the bowls firm, just like a good simmer keeps the broth steady. Keep the routine, tweak where it counts, and you’ll have bowls that serve as well as they look.
Thanks for the wisdom—I'll keep the edges tight and let the glaze breathe, just like a steady simmer. The routine is all I need to keep them strong.
Just keep the glaze snug and let it set with a steady hand, like a slow boil that never boils over. Those bowls will stand the test of time, and you’ll have the perfect vessel for every soup. Happy crafting!
