Hi Silver! I make my own colored slip using mason stains. The slip, in my experience, doesn’t need to be the same clay body. To make the slip, use the remnants of your clay and add water. Mix REALLY well with an immersion blender or whisk well to the consistency you want. Add the mason stain into the slip to create the color. Use a respirator when handling the mason stain....just as precaution. I have used BMix slip on red clay and it came out beautifully. Have fun experimenting!
@@sherrygKMA do you just eye ball it for the amount of mason stain you add to the slip? meaning you are basing the color on what you see is what you get? so just mason stain and slip? does it give a rough finish? I wonder what is the difference between the mason stain slip and engobe? thanks!
Thank you again for adjusting the volume of the music at the start and finish. I REALLY appreciate that. It's a quality of life improvement.
I adore an antique sorta primitive look on pottery and this fits the bill perfectly. Great technique!
Great tutorial on slip and textures. Can't wait to try it.
Thank you for sharing this. Can't wait to get back in local classes and try these on bowls. Beautiful.
I started doing this and just thought I would see if anyone else was doing this. I love using slip as a texture.
Very interesting.
Question. Thick slip under process will crack or pill off ..how you avoided.
Do you make this slip or buy it? Can you make colored slip or do you have to buy slip in the same clay that the pottery is made from?
