CLAE SLIPS (Series1)

Clae have produced a fabulous range of natural slips inspired by the Te Waipounamu South Island environment, and using local materials. Slips are applied to raw clay (greenware) and are a great way to add both colour and texture to your clay work. Because they are clay based they give excellent colour coverage, creating a matte colour finish.

These bespoke slips come in a variety of 200ml - 700ml containers and are perfect for adding a local, personal touch to your ceramic work.
