Throwing with porcelain after stoneware can be tough. Really it just takes
time to get used to the differences. It seems rather rudimentary, but for
now, throw a little thicker so your walls have more strength, as you learn,
you'll develop the ability to throw thin and tall at the same time.

You can also let the clay stiffen up a little before throwing.
