    do you add anything to your slip?

    • @sarahwellsrolland5097
      @sarahwellsrolland5097 Місяць тому

      Not really. Sometimes I deflocculate it to make it thinner so it's easier to screen but then I flocculate it back to the thickness I want. I don't thin with water as that increases the shrinkage rate of the slip. This can really be an issue when applying thick slip.

    You are an excellent teacher. Thank you. I’m so pleased to see a proportionate handle on your mug. So tired of seeing ridiculously oversized handles. Robin Hopper used to compare handles that were too big to a long strap on a heavy suitcase to explain how ergonomically absurd that is. Not to mention aesthetically unappealing. Congrats on getting your studio back. I imagine that was a Herculean job. 😅
