Slipcasting is a wonderful way to make ceramics. It’s an industrial processes, using liquid clay, each shape is formed in a plaster mould and can be reproduced over and over again. Sue uses this way of working to ensure that each shape is consistent, it still relies on huge amounts of hand finishing as each piece needs to be hand trimmed and sponged to form neat rounded edges.

It’s a specialist technique and one of the most challenging ways of making ceramics; as the clay is liquid, it has a high water content which has to be driven off before firing and is prone to warp more than other clays and is notoriously difficult to keep in shape throughout the making process.
