making stone ware more plastic for the wheel? Mine is cracking, alot, when I try to stretch out a bowl, after I have rolled a texture on it? The stone ware was mixed, following a recipe, and I am doing fine with simple bowls but when I faceted one of my attempts and tried to stretch it i got alot of strecth cracks? My clay feels fairly soft and it was easy enough to center and pull. My sides were between 1/2" and 5/8", before I faceted with a cheese cutter. I cut slabs that are a little less than 1/8" thick. When I tried to strech it into the bowl shape with 5/16" sides, it cracks and splits? Any tricks?

I tried clicking and then right clicking but nothing happens and I could not see your complete response? Sorry to bother you again! I have not been in a forum before.
