A Suspension of clay in water used for casting pottery or sculpture in molds. Slip (sometimes called engobe) can also be used for painted decoration or for the sgraffito technique. Often contains sodium silicate "N" and soda ash, or Darvan #7, to help keep the particles in suspension and for fluidity.
