Ceramics part 2

So you start with this bucket of slip


And you then need a mould


You poor the slip into the mould and wait for 10 - 20 minutes

Poor off the excess slip and leave it upside down and at an angle for it to flash off. Once it has flashed off it looks like the photo below. Now you just have to wait for it to become leather hard and is then workable. Ii will take more photos as i work on it

This pot is the one that i showed in a previous post. It has now come out of the kiln and is ready to colour
