This is a quick clay tip that has saved me tons of time.

Slip Frappe´ anyone? |
I used to make slip by hand. Then a mother gave me a rusty blender and gave me back hours of my life. Now, all I do is put a few pieces of clay in the blender with some water and VOILA! Instant slip that is the perfect consistency. I poor it in these baby food containers with lids and it lasts for weeks and weeks. I refill when necessary. I used to prep it ahead but the kids really love seeing how I do this so I've been making it right in front of them. Nothing like cutting down on prep time and showing the kids how I REALLY work.

Finished SLIP. |
Is this creative or crazy? I'm not sure, but it does work!
Fabulous. I do use slip with my air dry clay, and I HATE making it. But I have an old blender in my classroom from the time we tried making paper (which I did NOT enjoy) so I think I'll take it out next time we use clay!! Thanks for the share - so simple, why didn't we all think of this?
ReplyDeleteI take dried bits of clay and pour water over it and presto... slip. No blender required.
ReplyDeleteI will have to try that again! I always had to use my hands.
ReplyDeleteThat is fantastic!
