I've been a Potter working on the wheel since my teens and have heard working with porcelain described as 'throwing with butter'. Other potters trying to describe the difficulty of it and instead they unintentionally describe that the sensation is absolutely delicious. If you have the chance and your dirt love grows, transparent porcelain has some eclipse energy that's delightful.
Yes, there's no end to my love of porcelain. I just need to see how it all turns out. But if I keep like this and the pieces will hold, then I'll consider getting a kiln. How cool you've worked with clay since a tender age. I wish I had discovered it a lot sooner.
These pieces are exquisite, and probably your original teacher wasn’t wanting to use porcelain was because the firing temperature is way way higher than the average raku type clay. Glad you found someone who could fire them for you 🥰

The porcelain clay has claimed me. I’m in awe.
I also absolutely love that you followed your passion and didn't listen to people's pish posh.
Well, yes. I tend to follow the idea in my head, rather than the one in other people’s heads.
I love the whiteness of the porcelane. It reminds me of the color of French wigs in 1750s or the white face make up during that time.
