Colored Slip workshop
with Annabelle Johnson

Your Slip Is Showing

 In this hands on 4 hour workshop, we will share  colored slip making and application for use in your work. The slip formula we will share is unique in that it can be applied at any stage- wet,leather, bone dry or on fired bisque. It is durable at cone 04-10!

In addition to making and using colored slip, we will share additional decorating techniques including slip trailing, sgraffito and paper resist.

We will demo a fun stamp making technique that can be used immediately...no waiting for them to be fired. This demo will give you the information and supplies to make stamps on your own.

You will make a serving tray to practice on and slip trailers will be available to purchase for future use. 

We are packing a ton of information and fun into this 4 hours . Bring a snack and a sense of humor ! We will have a small break and some snacks will be provided.

Space is limited to allow adequate time for individual needs to be discussed.

In this workshop, we will explore surface treatments with flair and fun. Test pots and tiles will be provided for experimentation.This is a great workshop for potters who are ready to leave a little up to change and embrace happy accidents. The detail tape will provide a little more control and sharp clean lines for balance.
