Process
Perhaps one of the oldest and most vibrant of the English folk pottery traditions, slipware is a highly decorative form of pottery created using slip (liquid clay typically of contrasting colours). This liquid is poured, trailed and painted onto the surface of the piece before firing.
Process
Hannah McAndrew is an award winning slipware potter working in South West Scotland. Her work draws on the heritage of British slipware, using it as a basis for contemporary works. Working with warm palettes of chocolate brown and honey, Hannah applies traditional techniques such as slip-trailing and sgraffito to make vessels and tableware inspired by the natural world and her local landscape. Once decorated, Hannah’s pieces are often fired in her hand-built wood fire kiln, lending depth to the finish.
