A two day workshop to make your own ceramic artworks and/or functional wares using the slip-dip technique.
About this Event

Slip-dipping - also known as burnout - is a technique of making ceramics whereby a combustible material (such as fabric or paper) is dipped in clay slip. When fired, the material burns away but the ceramic retains its shape and texture.
In this two day workshop, you will make your own ceramic artworks and/or functional wares using the technique. You will have the opportunity to work with stoneware, porcelain, and pigments for staining slip.

Slip-dipping works well with certain fabrics, and if you have your own fiber work or materials (such as knitting or crochet) that you would like to slip-dip, you are more than welcome to bring them along! Note: you will be able to pick up your fired pieces the following week and will have the opportunity to have your pieces glazed in clear glaze.
