Metal Clay

How To: Making Your own Paste and Slip

Published: November 5, 2007
Collect dried, unfired clay scraps and filings, and place them on a glass work surface. Using a tissue blade or razor blade, chop the clay into a fine powder. Add some water, and use a plastic or stainless steel palette knife to blend the mixture into a thick paste. For a slip consistency, add a little more water, and blend again. Store the paste or slip in a small, airtight container.
