Instructions

Mix and sieve. Allow to sit 24 hours. I like to mix with enough water that it flows and brushes smoothly. Apply to leather-hard clay. A first layer will be transparent, and a second is more opaque. I apply slip in an intentional pattern and like the surface a brush makes. In this piece (2), I applied a scalloped circular layer is using a soft medium-sized fan brush. Once the first layer lost its shine, I applied a second layer, mimicking the first layer to emphasize the pattern. Underglazes were applied after the slip became leather hard.
