Introduction to Slipcasting Workshops

I’m now running courses on Slipcasting. If you’re a complete beginner or an experienced slipcaster but just need some support with your practice this day course is for you.

Join Sue to learn the basics of this fascinating technique, including how to mix up your own casting slip, how to achieve good fluidity as you pour slip into the mould and how to maintain clean casts, making for a better finished product. Trimming and finishing techniques will be covered, alongside troubleshooting some common issues with firing.

This workshop is the perfect introduction to slipcasting, learning from one of the UK’s leading ceramists in this technique.

Attendees will also be able to buy a mould of a mug from Sue’s own collection, a setter mould to help keep pieces in shape in the kiln and coloured slip casting, ready-mixed and made up for you to continue your slipcasting journey at home. Sue’s new book Design & Create Contemporary Tableware will also be available to purchase in the studio to help guide you further.
