How to decorate a slab bowl with slip decoration
Вставка
- Опубліковано 30 чер 2024
- This video covers a few different aspects of making with clay. It starts with how to use a bowl you have at home as a mould to make a slab built bowl. It then looks at two different slip decoration methods: sgraffito and slip trailing. Both methods use coloured decorating slip on leather hard clay (before it's completely dry and goes in the kiln). Sgraffito is where you put a layer of coloured slip on the surface then scratch through to the clay beneath to make a pattern or drawing. Slip trailing is exactly as it sounds, trailing slip across the surface using something like a squeezy bottle, a bit like piping icing. Both are great decorative techniques to put colour on your clay before it goes in a kiln.

Fantastic demonstration! Thank you. I just took a class from a fabulous instructor demonstrating both of these techniques but your video really helped me understand it more thoroughly.
Thanks ☺️
An alternative to cling film are those green biodegrable bags that we use for foodwaste. They work just like clingfilm but of course are environmentally friendly.
What a fab idea! Thank you 😄
i enjoy all your videos, there is no flash stuff , that can be distracting, just a lady who loves to play with clay. I'm in an adult ed class, have been for several years and love to throw, this term were looking at surface decoration so finding this was perfect. thankyou.
Thanks 😊 So glad it's helpful
Thank you for this. The bowl is beautiful. Your instructions very clear and I can’t wait to have a go. Brilliant xx
Thanks ☺️
I have just started watching 6our UA-cam pottery videos. Thanks for sharing. I’m definitely going to give slip trailing a go. It would be ideal if you showed the glazed bowl at the end of your clip.
Thanks. I'm trying to do this more now but I tend to record and post videos quickly before I've had time to dry and fire. You can see the finished piece on my socials at instagram.com/p/CBu71imDwDK/?igsh=dndzNDZrZ3B6ajAz
Beautiful.
Me encanta tu modo de enseñar tus técnicas 🌷
Gracias 😊
Being very new to pottery, your videos have opened up a new world for me. Thank you very much!
You are so welcome! That's great to hear ☺️
I’m a little late to the party - but I just love your design! (I can bear the music because your work is lovely) tumble drier sheets are good for under the clay also - and you can use them again and again xx ❤
Thanks 😊 Oooh, I'll have to try that! ❤️
Really great demo. Well done.
Thanks ☺️
Hi. I like the idea of doing this. Thank you for the great information 😀
You're welcome ☺️
Love it 🥰
I LUV ur
designs.
Thank you ☺️
Oh cool. I've never used the inside of the bowl before. I usually drape it over the top :-)
Thank you ❤
Thank you 😊
You're welcome ☺️
Loved the demo. Would have been nice to see the bowl after firing

Very helpful and clear video, thanks. Will the colours change after firing?
Decorating slips generally stay very close to the colour they go on but it's worth checking. I have a brown slip that paints on a reddish colour. They will also alter slightly if you put a transparent glaze on top. They tend to darken slightly. Hope that helps ☺️
hello there, thank you for the video. new to pottery. does it matter what temperature to fire slip?
The slip fires to the same temperature as the clay you're decorating. You do need to make sure that the slip you use is ok to fire at the clay firing temperature but they tend to have a very wide firing range. You only use slips on greenware before firing the clay generally thanks to the shrinkage that happens during firing. 😊
Paula… how did you glaze this piece after first firing? Clear glaze?
Yes, just transparent gloss 😊
I enjoyed watching the video, but when you would switch back and forth between you talking and the music , the music was so much louder that I would have to continually adjust the volume up and down which kind of drove me crazy after a while. Other than that I really did enjoy your video and subscribed.
Yeah, sorry. This was one of my earlier videos and I hadn't quite figured out the editing I'm still no expert but you shouldn't have this in any more recent videos 😏
I like your video. The bowl is beautiful. It would be nice to see it after burning. What I dont like is the music between. It is to loud
Thanks :) I share photos of the finished pieces on my social media and you can see this bowl here instagram.com/p/CBu71imDwDK/?
Where to buy your slips ? Thank you for sharing..
I buy mine from Potclays.co.uk and Scarva.com as they can be fired to stoneware 😊
Great video! What's the next step? Firing? Then glaze and fire again?
Hi. Yes 😊 It was bisque fired to 1000C as it's stoneware clay. I then glazed the inside with transparent gloss glaze to show the slip colours. The outside I glazed in a matt turquoise then it was fired again to 1200C to finish it.
@@PaulaArmstrongCeramics thank you for your reply!! Would love to see he finished product if you've posted a photo anywhere?!
@@hannahbarham3138 Yes 😊instagram.com/p/CBu71imDwDK/?igshid=gtemgmragdhz it's on my instagram.com/paula.armstrong2
I love It🥰
Great tutorial. how do you make the slip?
Thanks. I bought these decorating slips but you can make coloured slip by mixing clay with water and coloured mason stains. It's best made with a smooth clay as grog makes a sandy textured surface.
After this decoracation , you would fire them and finish it ?no need anything . Sorry ı have no idea about this, trying to learn 🙏🏻
Yes, normally you would fire, glaze it (with transparent glaze over the coloured slip decorated sections) then fire again to glaze. ☺️ temperature.
Is the liquid you poured mud? What paint did you put in this liquid?
Hi. The liquid is decorative coloured slip which is watered down clay with clay stains as pigment to add colour. You can make your own from the clay you use for making (add water and ceramic stain to some dried out clay pieces, leave it to soak then mix) but I admit that I tend to buy them premixed for consistency.
@@PaulaArmstrongCeramics Hi, thank you so much.
I’m just trying to make ceramics so I canˆt know some things
@@YAKINSANAT no problem 😊 I hope you're enjoying clay 😀
@@PaulaArmstrongCeramics thank you very much
Is that glaze slip you are adding?
No, it's coloured decorating slips which are basically clay watered down with a coloured stain in it. They don't vitrify like a glaze rather they act the same as the clay body.
6:12 Have you considered reusing the plastic wrap?
Absolutely, reusing is always good ☺️ I've since started using the compostable bags used for food waste instead of the plastic wrap and it seems to work just as well and makes me feel a bit better 😁
Very cool bowl... music was loud (and unpleasant) and it's not just your channel. Unfortunately a lot of UA-cam artists feel they need to add music and it's always too loud.
Yes, sorry, beginners editing mistake 😔 I make sure that I check the audio levels when I edit now.
To “my dear mother, “there’s no accounting of tastes.” I actually found the music to be more pleasant than much of what I hear on UA-cam!
I can certainly agree that I love the bowl, enough that I may try doing my own version. Thank you.
I have made the same observation regarding UA-camrs and music. I have asked many of them what they feel the music is supposed to add to the video, and no one has given me a real answer. Unfortunately, when folks are new at making UA-cam videos, they are often not good at balancing the music volume and the speech volume. At least in this video she wasn't playing the music the whole time and making it hard to understand what she was saying.
Can we see how it looks like ater it is fnished??

The First glaze is engobe?
It's coloured decorative slip rather than engobe but I don't see why you couldn't use engobe equally...
Good video instructions..thanks so much..🤗😁 I agree with some of the other people, please turn down the music..I had to keep turning it down , then turn it back up to hear you speak..not a criticism, just constructive advice..thanks😁
Thanks for the feedback ☺️. I've improved my editing skills so this is hopefully not an issue for my more recent videos.
@@PaulaArmstrongCeramics thanks for responding, it’s appreciated..😁👍🏻
No after firing photo?
I post photos of the finished pieces on my social media 😊 You can see this bowl at

Sous-titres en français svp merci 🙏
Thank you for sharing well done.
The music was hard on the ears
Yes, sorry. This is one of my earliest videos before I had any idea about editing 🙈 My more recent ones should be better 😊
Music is really loud compared to your voice.... Use elastic band around bottle to hold top out of the way ...
So.... where's the fired bowl?
You can see it here

Thank you : ) @@PaulaArmstrongCeramics
Video is great, but music is too loud.
Yes, sorry this is one of my early videos and I hadn't worked out the editing so well. My later videos should be better 🤞
So where are the pics of it fired and glazed. (Clear I assume/hope.) Ya can't just show us something so potentiality cool and not give us some after pics. Give us closure!😟
You can see it here facebook.com/1446530518964929/posts/2659264957691473/?sfnsn=scwspmo I post photos of the finished pieces on my Facebook page and Instagram. ☺️
@@PaulaArmstrongCeramics ~ahhhh closure~ lol.
That turned out great. It always amazes me how much things change in the kiln.
Here's a share for you. I started doing Friday night kiln opening parties. Put out some snacks. A little wine. I show videos of the stuff in the kiln being made. Pictures of what it looked like when it went in. I have had 6 of them this winter. At 2 of them I sold everything in the kiln and then some. Plus, I got to socialize a little. I always want to finish the sales before my second glass of wine. Lol no use tempting the fates.
Fab idea! Thanks 😄 I'll come take a look if it's on UA-cam ☺️
@@PaulaArmstrongCeramics I'm not too good at posting stuff. My nephew has done all my video stuff. We been talking about getting some videos posted but he recently discovered girls sooooooo. . . .
@@LambentLark 😂 😂
Boo, no firing photo
