on 02015-08-15getting #ceramics glaze slurry #materials to be #thixotropic typically involves adding a little vinegar or Epsom salt (better for slurries that contain more #clay), but some ceramics processes require deflocculating your glaze slurry or slip to avoid thixotropy. For #slipcasting you normally just partially deflocculate the slip in order to let it remain a bit thixotropic.
