I don't have my ^10 slip recipes immediately handy but will be glad to look
them up and send them to anyone who asks in a private message. I have
recipes for white, blue, black and red stoneware slips - ^10.

Mel:
If these are casting slip recipes I would be
most grateful for a copy when you get the time.
Thanks,

Marc:
The recipes I have are not for casting slips; we use them to colorize or
decorate pots after they have been thrown or slab-built. For instance, I
created a birthday platter for a friend that has balloons one one side
which were added after the platter was leather hard; the whole stoneware
piece was then glazed with a clear glaze.
If you still want the recipes, I will send them along.

Hi Marc, Mel and others regarding the slip question...I have been using a
slip recipe that I got form HANDS IN CLAY for quite awhile. It works
wonderfully..I mix up a 5 gallon pail of it, then put smaller amounts in
jars and add mason stains to different jars to get the colors i want - I
really don't measure, just add enough by sight until it looks right. One of
those small sample packets (1/4 ounce?) usually does great in a cottage
cheese container filled with the white slip. Then I brush the slip on green
pots, let it dry overnight if it's humid summer in northern Wisconsin, or
cover with plastic overnight if the woodstove is on...the waiting makes the
carving through the slip give a nicer line I feel. Once my drawings are
done, I bisque, then cover with a clear glaze and fire to cone 7 or 8. the
nice thing about this slip recipe is that it is good for cones 6-11, and
it's true because I've used
it in my electric kiln at 6 and my wood kiln at 12! The recipe is:
Hands in Clay white Slip (cone6-11)
Kaolin 230
Ball Clay 220
Feldspar 200
Flint 300
Borax 50
The clear I use over it: Base Clear (Cone 5-10)
Gerstley 500
Kaolin 175
Flint 325
Hope this helps you out!
