Slip Casting in Boulder

Slip casting is a production pottery technique where liquid clay (slip) is poured into plaster molds. The plaster absorbs water from the slip, leaving a thin shell of clay against the mold walls. After drying, the cast piece is removed, cleaned, and fired.

At Boulder Pottery Studio, we teach slip casting as a specialized workshop. It's the technique behind many of the ceramic objects you see every day, and it opens up forms and details that are difficult to achieve on the wheel or by hand.
