Slip is simply liquid clay which can be used for decoration on its own or covered with glaze.

The book is illustrated with working potters in action, showing their own personal styles and how they have adapted traditional methods to suit their work today in a modern context. As well as examples of techniques, there are many images of beautiful finished pieces to show what can be achieved. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition.
