Slab and Slip is the creation of ceramicist Sarah Cawthray. 

I create 3D ceramic forms, hand-built, using stoneware and porcelain and depending on the intended outcome, I like to use highly grogged stoneware for structural pieces and porcelain as a blank canvass for enhancing colour.

Not only do I use found objects to create marks in clay, I also make clay imprints of boulders, rocks etc to make bisque ceramic moulds to enhance the tactility on my work. By

recreating these experiences in my work, each mark, crack, tear can all facilitate crafting the pieces. The touching of clay and creating the form sometimes just happens. Perhaps, allowing these ideas, marks and colours to flow is a spontaneous response to the walk and

the story.
