White DS1009 - Decorating Slip

Decorating slip is coloured liquid clay which can add a decorative element to your work. It is suitable for use on both Earthenware and Stoneware clays as it can be fired anywhere between 1000°c and 1300°c.

Apply slip to leather hard clay with a sponge, brush or slip trailer, then leave to thoroughly dry before firing. Different colours can be mixed to achieve a wide range of shades. After biscuit firing, a clear transparent glaze can be applied to the piece to enhance the colours.

This white decorating slip retains its colour even when applied onto very dark clay, and the colour is consistent regardless of firing temperature.

Hot Clay Tip: Use white slip with sgraffito tools on black clay to create a striking contrast.
