What Is Slip Casting?
Slip casting is a term used to describe a technique that is used to mass-produce identical pottery or ceramic pieces. This technique is used either when the piece would be too difficult to produce on a potter’s wheel, or when a cheap and quick means of mass production is desired. The technique involves the use of a liquid clay mixture, plaster molds, and a kiln. Many objects from simple plates and pots to complex decorative items and ceramic dolls can be produced by slip casting.
