Slip and Score is a technique to connect two independent pieces of clay. You slip and score by making shallow cuts on both edges of the clay and then "gluing" it together with slip (watered down clay). slip and score is important to connect pieces of clay and prevent them from coming apart.
The focus of this project was to show that I had control of the clay. This was shown by making my project symmetrical. I did this by making circular pinch pots to work with. I also paddled, smoothed, and carved the clay to get the most symmetrical shape I could.
What a very lovely piece! You have had many admirers of this work. Can't wait to see it glazed.
