釋義

泥漿

黏土與水混合的陶藝用漿料

Clay slip is a thin, pourable liquid made by mixing clay with water until it reaches a smooth, creamy consistency. In pottery, potters use it to fill plaster moulds for casting shaped objects, to spread a coloured coating over raw clay surfaces before glazing, or to create a glassy surface layer by using clays that melt at extreme kiln heat.

Common among potters; the same clay slip can serve different purposes — filling moulds for casting, covering surfaces for decoration, or melting into a glaze — depending on how it is applied and at what temperature it is fired.

💡in pottery, 'slip' alone can be confused with a mistake or a piece of paper; 'clay slip' clearly names the material.
