Cup with cobalt slip

ceramics / 2021 / cobalt-slip

I threw this simple cup form at Exeter College as part of my first pottery evening class. When leather-hard I flicked a cobalt slip with a small paintbrush.

I have been experimenting with creating a similar slip using the Robin Hopper base slip recipe (see Cobalt Oxide Slip).
