• Leatherhard-when the clay is in its most workable state, being soft, moist, and pliable enough to be easily molded, shaped, and formed

• Bone Dry-The bonedry stage of clay signifies the point where the clay has lost all of its moisture and is as dry as it can get before being fired

• Bisque the first firing of a clay piece in a kiln.

How to create a slab of clay 

 creating objects by rolling out clay into flat slabs, cutting shapes from them, and then joining the pieces together to form a desired shape. 

Define slipping and scoring of clay?

Slipping and scoring are essential techniques in pottery for joining clay pieces together securely. Slipping involves applying a liquid clay mixture (slip) to the scored surfaces of the pieces, acting as a binding agent, while scoring creates a rough, textured surface to enhance adhesion

What is the purpose of slipping/scoring clay? 

To prevent things you stick on clay from breaking in the kiln
