What does clay slip do?
Slip is simply clay mixed with enough water to make it a thick liquid. Usually potters use colored slip to decorate and/or texture pieces. Slip is also used as a glue to attach handles or mend broken pieces before they are fired. Slip can also be used to mold clay. Plaster molds are used which are assembled and clamped together and then the slip is poured in. As the water is absorbed into the plaster, a shell of clay is deposited on the inside of the mold. When the shell is thick enough, the remaining slip is poured out and the casting allowed to dry to a leatherhard stage. At this stage, the mold is taken apart and the casting is trimmed and finished.
