Slip Decorating

Slip Decorating is applying liquid coloured clay onto leatherhard clay. It is a great way to get fine detail in pottery decoration. Demonstrated in this tutorial by me, Beth Turnbull Morrish, are the techniques of slip painting, scraffito, paper resist, inlay or mishima and trailing. Thanks for watching. Enjoy!

Thank you so much for sharing I am learning so much. Hello from Tasmania.

[@anacatalinaizquierdo4368]

I would love to see the pieces after firing!!!

[@nexussever]

Please show the final product.

[@susyward581]

Love this, my one concern is that you keep blowing fine particles of clay into the air, I don’t allow that in my studio

[@bethturnbull8138]

Hi Suzy, I see your concern, i certainly do not allow dust production in my studio either!The clay here is leatherhard, so it's not dusty or dangerous.

[@monkshillpottery]

Great video. I wish you’d shown the finished product though!

[@jgermano22ify]

Would love to see what they looked like when fired.

[@ArtSara96]

How many days do you let the slip dry before firing. Thank you

[@tamirenno5845]

Thank you for sharing these styles, such good information. What do you use to make the slip colored? Would love to see the finished products.

[@KarenRivkaKaufmannTzuriel]

Please explain how you prepare the colored slip...

[@stickermigtigger]

Please show finished work.

[@nikkir6226]

Love the demo but it doesn't do any good if we can't see the finished product.

[@Ladonnacontenta]

Does the slip base need to match the clay body of the piece?

[@turningbullpottery9791]

Hi. I use a slip recipe. So the answer is no, my decorating slip is not just my clay body watered down. It's still important to do tests to make sure the recipe is suitable for your clay body, but it doesn't have to be the same clay. Thanks for asking!

I am a potter sculptor and now people can't draw or being creative. They cant just draw a simple bird silhouette...same in painting drawing, they trace. Real Art doesn't exist anymor

[@bethturnbull8138]

Ulujmf, note that I drew the bird onto the newsprint first, as needed for the paper resist technique demonstrated.

Process of slip application on lim are tooooo long, and disappointing not see the result.
