technical tuesday: How to… Make and adjust casting slip.

Since I slipcast for some of my functional wares as well as for my sculptures I often get asked about how to best make casting slip. Since I am no expert and in fact over the years have become sadly very lazy with my mixing process (or maybe it’s just that i’ve made so much i can do it all by sight and estimation skills? Yup that must be it….) I thought that having a good link to some real research and information would be of benefit. So enjoy How to… Make and adjust casting slip via Laguna Clay.
