My slip casts are out of the kiln and they are unbelievably fragile! The firing process burns away any organic material or combustibles ie the string, so that you are left with a hollow slip shell. I am really pleased with a few of these, especially the slashed packaging. I have discussed with my tutor the option of glazing these, either with a clear glaze or trying a copper oxide, which will go a greenish brown, but for now I am going to leave them bisque-fired. I really like the look and feel of them this way as they fit in with my desired aesthetic.
