Over the weekend I had the idea of creating thinner ceramic surfaces by pouring a slip onto a plaster slab. Again I thought that by using a paper clay slip then the paper fibres within the body would allow me to produce a thinner sheet by holding the clay particles together. 

I had a few goes at pouring the slip, however found it extremely difficult to then remove the clay from the plaster without completely destroying the form of the rectangles. Although my negotiated project is about Wabu Sabi and accepting failure, I think there is a limit to how far I can push that within my ceramic pieces just looking terrible.
