This is fine; happy with carvings, glaze pretty good. A worthy Xmas gift for MIL.
Note this is cinco blanco clay and pinging like heck. The other bowls are b mix and are not. Beginning to think cinco blanco just is terrible

LJ@LJ right now it’s just that darn white clay I’ve been fighting with!
@3janeTA I'm trying to convince our studio to replace our bmix with a white that has a lower absorption rate, but I dread trying to find one that fits all our glazes.
@LJ my bmix is doing way better than the white I have and I’ve always loved it.
@3janeTA I'm seeing a lot of late crazing with bmix. Typically after a year of use. My thinking is it's absorbing tiny amounts of water in the dishwasher over time & making the clay expand. My favorite clay is 90, but it's brown & not great for using underglazes with. But it has such a low absorption rate that it never shows late crazing.
@LJ I do have some crazing with the bmix it’s just so much less!
