This morning I got out everything I would need to filter the slip and pour it into the mold. Then I waited 45 minutes. Next I drained the mold. Four hours later I took the mold apart and cleaned up the still damp mug. I removed excess clay from the rim and smoothed down the seams with wet fingers. This is the first time I've ever done this and it's a lot of work. Clean up every thing after you use it or the slip will harden on it. The mold is out drying, every day or two I will try to repeat this process. Mike had poured and cleaned two to test the mold so three down ? to go. Wendy
