Recently, I was lucky enough to be given a great recipe for a cone 10
Albany-type clear with a nice glassy transparent surface. I believe it was one
of Val Cushing's old glazes (what great glaze doesn't seem to have come from
Val's extensive glaze coffers?!). Anyhow, having replaced the Albany with
Alberta, I have been running color tests on this glaze for the past 6 months.
Will it ever stop- I doubt it. One of the most interesting surfaces, both in
color and in texture, was done with 5% "Laguna Forest Green" stain. I have no
idea where this stain came from- unfortunately the bag looked rather old.
I know that you were looking more for a forest green slip, but I thought this
might interest you. Here's the recipe:
45 Alberta Slip
25 Whiting
20 Flint
10 Custer Spar
--------------
2-3% Bentonite
Keep it pretty ding-dang thin, else you're likely to be chipping shelves.
Good luck... maybe someone else has a clue about getting this stain....?
