Abstract
I feel that the newly shaped greenware form can possess a soft, malleable and pure quality. I would like this quality to be visually retained in the fired state. I hope to utilize slips in a fashion that enhance the form, and use its tactile qualities to convey a sense of the soft, wet clay. When slip is applied to the pot, it may be done by brushing, dipping, pouring, trailing and/or hand application. The application of slip, its color and its effect on the glazes, will also be significant in working toward the appearance of a soft form. Historical and technical information will be researched as to better understand what has and can be done in this area of endeavor.
