Making a Drippy Slip Mug from start to finish

Making a medium mug, and using multicoloured slip (liquid clay) to create a flowing surface design.
The colours used here are the light sandy colour of the clay, and layered blues to create a beach effect, but this will work with other colours of slip and glaze
The slip is made from the clay trimmings, watered down and passed through a sieve to create a thick smooth liquid. This is then coloured and sucked into a syringe in layers, so creates a marbled coloured banding when it's applied to the surface of the mug. The mug is then tapped on the wheel to get the thick slip to flow down in waves. The slip is also used to stick the handle in place. Once dry it returns to solid clay, fusing permanently with the clay of the body.
The laser level is used to make sure the handle is vertical before sticking it as it can't easily be adjusted once it's placed.
The glazes used are Heath A2V Ivory to add white around the rim, 20x5 clear on the outside to make the slip glossy and brighten the colours, and Floating Blue on the inside to complete the ocean theme.
The tool used to dip the mug in the glaze is a car dent puller. Check out my other videos for more info on how I glaze work, including how I use the dent puller.

Gorgeous.. can’t wait to start playing with clay!

There is nothing better than expertly handmade pottery 😍😍😍😍

[@tracybowling97]

I was afraid that the blue would disappear. But you got it back! What a genius design. The $ ppl would pay for a set of those dishes!

[@OldForgeCreations]

Yep, it all gets revealed in the final firing!

[@Sonal-ThankyouGod]

Liked your handle making technique. Beautiful glaze

[@SgathaichFey]

I know absolutely nothing about pottery but watching you wedging the clay is so hypnotic I almost just want a full video of that 🥰 Beautiful work as always! Thank you for sharing!

[@HeleneLogan]

Absolutely love this technique!

[@frankhott179]

First rate video. I have since incorporated a laser in identifying placement of my handles. I’ve also started leaving the piece on the bat until after trimming. Watching your work process has enabled me to improve my own! Thanks buddy!

[@OldForgeCreations]

I'm glad you find those useful too!

[@stephaniekeith3361]

I would love to see your drippy technique on a twisted mug, trailing the slip on the high point of the spiral? I bet it would be fantastic!!! Thanks for the wonderful videos ❤️

[@OldForgeCreations]

I have done variations on that a couple of times, and it does make an interesting combination! I'll get a video next time I do something like that

I don’t know enough about how this process works. It still looks like magic created the colors at the end.

it never fails to surprise me when the glaze fires and looks nothing like the pre-fired glaze.

I’ve recently discovered your channel and to me, yours and a channel called “Justin’s makery” are probably the two best channels about pottery, and I like that you both experiment with new techniques and designs. I really liked how that mug turned out, and I also liked that coaster it was sitting on at the end.
