Playing in the Mud - Creatiing and Using Slip

Come along with me as I make slip from my clay body to use in my work. I share my process for turning dry trimmings into a usable substance. In the second part of this video, I will demonstrate my favorite way to personalize a mug.

I'm 2 days late! I made a really small trial batch of slip, intending to add 1 drop of sodium silicate but 2 drops went in.
Maybe I used it too soon, IDK, but though it poured well I had to scoop out the excess. If I had seen this before doing so I might have been more careful. Good work though!

Love this!! Thank you for sharing. Would you consider showing what you do with the cricut?

I'll put that on my to do list. :)

I have not used this slip to pour with (I haven’t made or used molds yet), so I am unsure how to get the right ratio for a true liquid slip.

@@lorrinederichelieu9848 “In ceramics, deflocculants are materials that you add to your slips and glazes to make them smoother, flow a little better, and even apply a little better.” Darvan 7 is a brand of deflocculant.
