On this slip casting taster workshop you will learn how to slip cast a piece in porcelain and decorate it with ceramic designer Alex Allday in her studio at Middleport Pottery.

You will slip cast from a pre made plaster mould and be able to choose to cast either a tealight holder/ pen pot or a planter pot. Once you have slip casted your piece you will then be shown how to decorate it with a variety of different surface decoration techniques using coloured slips, stains and different tools to create sgraffito, textures and patterns. You will be able to practise your designs and the shown techniques onto clay tiles before decorating your piece.
