An essential guide to the techniques of making and using slips.
In this book, explore the many techniques for making and using slips - liquid clay which can be used for decoration on its own or covered with glaze - such as brushing, dipping, trailing and sgraffito amongst others. You can also find out how to make up slips and use them at higher temperatures, both with and without glazes.
As well as examples of techniques, discover what can be achieved with many images of beautiful finished pieces from contemporary potters, and find inspiration through illustrations of potters in action, showing their own personal styles and how they have adapted traditional methods to suit their work today in a modern context.
John Mathieson has taught in schools, colleges and a prison before becoming a full-time potter. He is a member of the Craft Potters Association and a well-known figure at ceramics events across the UK. He is a regular contributor to various ceramics journals and is the author of Raku.
