Ceramics 5 work- Slip dipping
This semester I am experimenting with dipping random things in slip and firing them. "Slip dipping." The idea is that you dip the object (paper, fabric, cardboard...) into slip, let it dry, low fire it, and when its fired the dipped object should burn out, leaving a fragile ceramic shell. I am about to bisque my first test of dipped objects. (kinda nervous that I will end up with ceramic crumbs) eh we'll see how it goes. Cross your fingers!

Hi Holly,
ReplyDeleteI have just begun an art course as a beginner. I need to find a project. I love what you have shown.
What do you mean by dip the object in slip. What is 'slip'
