That's a great way to add beautiful, flowy textures of slip trailing into the petals!

[@billyesinger2920]

What a great way to work with slip. I love this video. I do have a time saver for you, though. If you put your slip in a small zip loc baggie, you can cut the corner of it in order to squeeze your slip into that bottle. You can save some time and it goes in cleaner. Love your videos. I always learn something new!

[@annruel1982]

Awesome tip Billye! Thanks so much!! that way you can push the clip into the bottle easier. Thanks so much!!! thanks for watching too!!!

[@micheledickey4066]

Another way is to push the sides of the bottle in, put to top into the slip and just suck it out. You can do this until it’s full.

[@hispathofLIGHT]

Hi Ann. Thank you for this demo! Are you applying the slip to greenware or Bisque? Thanks!

[@annruel1982]

Hi Cindy,. Good question. You have to apply it on greenware...preferably when the clay is leather hard. The issue is the shrinking of the clay. You want the clay and the slip to be shrinking together as much as possible. Thanks for watching our video 🙂. Have a great day!

[@xm3364]

very pretty idea! I like it lot and will definitely try out on some of my bisque pots and bowls. Thank you very much Ann. 🙂

[@LittleStreetPottery]

would love to see your results!

[@xm3364]

@@LittleStreetPottery Sure! But how to do that?

[@lauradavenport8199]

Can you put slip on a bone dry piece? I was afraid that the uneven drying might make cracks. Thank you for all of your wonderful videos. I’ve learned so much from you

[@annruel1982]

Hi Laura. I was unsure about that too. I think you would have the best chance of the slip not cracking off as it dries at the leather hard stage, but I was surprised to see that I could do this technique with my porcelain slip right onto a bone dry porcelain piece without any cracking off. i think the brushing of the slip helped to adhere it to the clay. It also may be that porcelain is more forgiving for this. Stoneware may not be as accepting to the slip. I recommend TESTING on your bone dry clay....or just doing this at the leather hard stage.

[@rutilopata8294]

Awesome, your work is amazing, love the directions of the flowers 😊love how you worked with the slip and how you made it, if I may ask you added nothing more than the water to bone dry clay right, I have always wanted to give slip trailing a try and seeing this video I may give it a try

[@lauriegagnon2614]

Love your videos. Can you apply this technique to stoneware like BMix?

[@LittleStreetPottery]

I don't have access and am not as familiar with the qualities of Bmix. We will put it on our list for future possible testing. We just did a video on stoneware this week so we're wading into those waters...thanks!

[@-succulentplant-joan]

👍👍👍👍👍🤩

[@cathysherwood6939]

Can you do this on bisque as well as greenware or maybe even bone dry?

[@annruel1982]

Hi Cathy. As bisque is already shrunken and dried, the slip would crack off of the pot. Your best bet is leather hard greenware when slipping. Good luck!

[@gauravvikalp]

Hey Ann, are the peices bisque fired before you drew on them with the slip or are they all greenware? Great video as always :)

[@LittleStreetPottery]

Greenware is correct - thanks!

[@sandrapereira7092]

Hi 😊 thank you for sharing your work and technics. Do you add a deflocculant to your slip?

No. Just water to thin it down. Thanks.

[@LittleStreetPottery]

Not heard that term - but we call it a "slip trail" bottle. Thanks.

[@jackiestoklas6015]

I have to do this! Do I have to use slip from the clay body of the vase or can I use a chicolate base with a b mix slip? Both are cone 5.

[@annruel1982]

Hi Jackie. My porcelain is the only clay I have used for this. I the two clays shrink at the same percentage, it has a good chance of not cracking off. Another tip is to try this technique with your two different clay bodies at leather hard as opposed to bone dry for a better chance of success. Give it a shot. Good luck 🙂 Thanks for watching!!

[@iorekab3611]

Very nice, thank you ! I couldn't find the results in the community section, is it jus that they haven't been posted yet or did I miss something ?

What is the difference on the final work from this to slip?

[@annruel1982]

Hi Linda. I have tried to write an answer to your question three time now and for some reason, You Tube wont post it. Maybe third time is the charm. I experimented with three techniques all using slips and some capacity of underglaze with it so that upon final firing the underglaze will show through. We will post the final pieces to the community section when we get a chance if you want to see them.

Do you sign your work? Please say you do I find it really sad when I find old beautiful pottery and there's no signature don't know who made it and I would love to know who made the beautiful pottery.

Always! I agree with you!

[@user-jw5iy7xi1o]

can slip be applied to dry bmix greenware? i was always told to leave bmix clay alone once it's dry.

[@LittleStreetPottery]

I dont have as much experience with B Mix but from what I understand, you may be able to add slip dots (small amounts), but a layer of slip etc may have a tendency to crack off because the difference in moisture content. Good luck!

[@micheledickey4066]

I just watched this again because I wanted to try it but I thought the pot was still supposed to be wet so the slip doesn’t flake off. Is this true? Thanks.

[@LittleStreetPottery]

Hi Michele! It kinda depends on the clay you use. There is no problem with my porcelain I use. In the end you want your clay to be leather hard before you put this slip on. Good luck, would love to see what you come up with.
