Slip casting is watered down clay, specially blended, you can buy at ceramic stores. It makes the clay pourable. You pour the clay into a mold. The mold is made of pourous plaster. The mold absorbs some of the water from the clay and leaves you with a casting. You pour off the excess clay and let the rest set up in the mold until slightly firm. Then you remove it from the mold, let it completely air dry, and fire in a kiln.
