Slip Transfer

Every once in a while I go down a rabbit hole & get very interested in slip transfer techniques. Image transfer doesn't really have a role in my work (which is not to say that it never could) but one of the great things about teaching classes is it allows me time to explore all kinds of techniques, even if they have no immediate use for me. 
I'll have a tutorial up on my Patreon page about this - hoping to do a quick video when I demo this for my class - but honestly it's so simple it hardly requires a lesson. I just brushed slip on newspaper, let it dry to a satin shine, then pressed it onto leatherhard clay with a rib. 
I love the eroded quality of the stripes, like paint peeling on a fence.
