A method of fabricating a catalyst carrier, comprises forming a slurry of ceramic particles in a liquid carrier, the liquid carrier comprising a binder species, applying the dispersion to a non-sacrificial mould surface having formations provided therein or thereon, causing the binder species to set to provide a green form, removing the green form from the mould surface, drying and firing the green form, wherein the setting of the binder species to provide a green form which is removeable from the mould surface, preferably, takes less than 120 minutes. Catalyst carriers and tape casting apparatus for making the same are also disclosed.
