Michael,
Your slip, after being brought to room temperature and mixed well, should be
just fine. After all, the main ingredients--clay and water--spent a LOT of
time being frozen and thawed. That's how big rocks become clay... :o)
If you're still worried, try pouring a small amount of slip--say, a
cupful--on a dry plaster bat or your (dry) wedging table. See if you can
pull it free after about twenty minutes.
And, if you're STILL worried, cast a small piece and fire it.
Then if you're REALLY worried, have a hot cocoa and count your many
blessings. That always works for me. :o)

Ok! I believe you! :-) I am just a rank beginner trying to find my way!
;-)
I thought that maybe there were other things in the slip that would be
damaged
if it got frozen. This is a chemical crazy world any more.
Just thought I should check with you guys to make sure it was ok.
:-)
Thanks for the reassurance every one!
Michael
