Free‐standing porous objects were made by the electrophoretic deposition and slip casting of Pickering emulsions stabilized with alumina and titanium powder. By controlling the emulsion parameters, the pore size can be controlled from a few micrometers to a few millimeters. Both open and closed porosity were obtained by changing the emulsion composition. Since no pore forming solid template is used, the delicate and lengthy debinding step during processing is eliminated.
