Hi!
There are things you cannot runaway from them and I think that time arrived
to learn Slipcating.
I know that there are several good books,I can l learn from books but I have
a very small knowledge at this subject and I need a help in choosing the
right book. So please give me your advise!
thanks

once upon a time, around 1986, i was the park ranger
at Painted Hills , part of the John Day fossil beds
national monument, in Central Oregon, nearest town ...
Mitchell.
Snail
i took some cone 10 fired slab and coil vessel pots
(they were shaped like bota's, narrow mouthed skin
bag shapes made of clay) over to the the county fair
in Fossil (the county seat, the town of Fossil ,
Oregon)
to enter them into the ceramics or pottery part of
the fair exhibit
the elderly fair ladies didn't know what to do with
it, they all were completely puzzled. Everything ,
EVERYTHING else in the exhibit was slipcast from
commercial molds and then glazed or china painted.
they had to figure out whether to invent a whole new
category for my stuff or simply include it ...
it was kind of cute actually the way they looked at it
and examined it. they thought it was quite interesting
but it may as well have been made on Mars!

I've become interested in doing some kind of slipcasting in plaster
molds, I know how to make the molds, I just don't know if my clay body
is the right kind as it is:
E.P.K. kaolin 40
Kentucky ball clay 5
Nepheline syenite 30
Gerstley borate 5
Flint 20
Add: VGum-T 3%
Does this need to have something added to it to deflocculate/flocculate
it? If I made a slip out of this without adding anything, would it still
work?
