I've always loved adding slip trail details to my pottery. I love the texture on the finished pots. This is how I make my slip.
Supplies:
* Clay (I use the same clay body, that I use for making pots)
* A mixing cup or bowl
* Distilled water
* Immersion blender
I shred moist clay
(helps with dust control
let it dry out completely
Put about 1 cup of distilled water in a mixing cup, then slowly add dry shredded clay until the clay stops absorbing water and a layer of dry clay accumulate above the water line. Let the clay and water sit for 20 minutes.
Mix with the immersion blender until nice soft peaks happen.
Store in a wide mouth air-tight container.
squeeze the air out of the slip trail bottle and submerge opening into slip to fill.
Now you're ready to rock the slip trailing.

Hope you all are doing well!
Love to all,
