Colored Slip Mountains!

I found a bucket of old slip with iron oxide in it and I have a bucket full of reclaim slip. What can I do with them? Make a mountain landscape with a colored slip blend!

I like the stars in front of the mountain effect, feels like you're looking at a lil mountain town and a highway

Thanks! It's always great to see how everyone interprets different pots

Wonderful video.

Glad you enjoyed it

Thanks!

I do have an idea for your round shapes, not sure how well it’ll work. Try making the round shape on news print. By doing this you can even get more results by using underglazes or just slip. When it’s dry you can put them away for later use. When you’re ready to use them paint on the back side /slip to soften them and apply them to the inside of your mold. You can sponge more water into the back of the paper if it needs more moisture. I do this to leather hard or bisque pieces, curious if it’ll work for slip molds.

You can do underglaze (/ slip) transfers onto the pots once they're out. I'm not sure about applying them to the inside of the mold. One of the issues was the cut out pieces were drying from the plaster and wanting to release. I'm not sure if using a transfer would make that easier or not. I suspect the real trick is getting the moisture level just right which is one reason I just put those pots in this video - I'd need to do more work to figure it out.

@@PotterybyKent I would love to hear how it works if you do try it out. Best of luck.

[@PotterybyKent]

If I do, I'm sure I'll make a video!

[@hardwareful]

imagine screen printing onto the inside with slip, followed by a thicker slip layer

[@PotterybyKent]

Interesting idea. It might be hard to reach inside the mold (my hand barely fits in even the bigger ones). What is often done is an application of underglaze on the outside.

Isn’t using a razor blade dangerous? Won’t you risk getting plaster in the clay?

[@PotterybyKent]

I've found that something sharp is useful to cleanly cut the rim, otherwise it can tear the clay. And with something small like the razor blade it's easy to feel the slip well and not dig in. Occasionally I'll do a rough cut first and then go back around a second time to do the final trim.

Do you sell your pottery?

[@PotterybyKent]

I do sell some of it but I don't have a web store. If you're interested feel free to reach out (contact info is on my about page)

This one was colored using iron oxide and a few other oxides. But it was mixed from a few different slips I made so even I don't know exactly what the proportions were
