EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph offers a rare glimpse into the world of pottery manufacturing in the 1880s, specifically the process of taking or putting slip, a liquid clay suspension, onto the surfaces of pots and other ceramic wares. The image depicts a group of skilled craftsmen at work in a Potteries workshop, each intently focused on their individual tasks. The interior of the workshop is filled with an intriguing mix of textures and tones, from the rough, earthen floors to the smooth, glazed ceramics that line the shelves. The men, dressed in simple work clothes, are surrounded by an array of tools and equipment, including large wooden paddles, brushes, and vats of slip. The atmosphere is one of quiet concentration and purpose, as each man carefully applies the slip to the surfaces of the pots, ensuring an even coating that will form the base for the final glazing and firing. The process of putting or taking-out slip was a crucial step in the pottery-making process, and required a high degree of skill and precision. This photograph provides a fascinating window into the past, offering a unique insight into the daily life and work of the potters and ceramic craftsmen of the 1880s. The image is a testament to the rich history of the pottery industry, and the dedication and artistry of those who worked in this time-honored craft.
