If you have two pieces of clay that you want to connect, you score the clay. Scoring is scratching both pieces of clay where you want them to connect. Slip is watered down clay, and acts as glue when placed on the scored clay.

Use a fork, plastic or otherwise, and scratch/score the surfaces of the clay parts you intend to join.

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.


What style of vase had a black background in Greek art?

The style of vase with a black background in Greek art is known as the "black-figure" technique. In this method, figures and scenes were painted in a black slip on the natural red clay of the vase, and then the entire piece was fired in a kiln. The black areas would remain glossy and dark, while the red clay would show through where the slip was not applied. This technique was prominent from the 7th to the 5th centuries BCE.


What will happen if you attach a peice of Plastic Clay to Bone Dry Clay?

When you attach a piece of plastic clay to bone dry clay, the two will not bond effectively. Bone dry clay is no longer plastic and lacks moisture, meaning it won't adhere to the plastic clay properly. Over time, the plastic clay may separate from the bone dry clay, especially during firing, as they have different shrinkage rates and moisture content. To ensure a better bond, it's essential to score and slip the surfaces before joining them.
