	'''Slip casting''' is a ceramic forming technique in which liquid clay, known as slip, is poured into a porous mold to create ceramic objects. The mold absorbs moisture from the slip, causing a layer of clay to solidify against the inner surface of the mold.

	In this process, the slip is poured into a mold typically made of plaster. As the plaster absorbs water from the slip, a solid clay layer gradually forms along the mold walls. When the desired thickness is reached, the remaining liquid slip is poured out. The hollow clay form is then allowed to stiffen before being removed from the mold.

The method also enables consistent replication of forms, making it suitable for both small-scale workshop production and larger manufacturing processes.

'''Slip casting''' is a ceramic forming technique in which liquid clay, known as slip, is poured into a porous mold to create ceramic objects. The mold absorbs moisture from the slip, causing a layer of clay to solidify against the inner surface of the mold.

When the desired thickness is reached, the remaining liquid slip is poured out. The hollow clay form is then allowed to stiffen before being removed from the mold.
