A quote from a friend on slip glazes.

<<" to the best of my knowledge slip glazes can be used under or over glazes
but must all be fired together. Slip glazes almost triple the possibilities
with glazing because:
a:they don't significantly increase the weight or thickness of the glaze.
b:It can yield through experiments colors almost like mixing paint
c:easy to work with"

Could someone with knowledge on this subject comment. I received this
information from a friend and am interested in combining slip with glaze and
don't know the correct process.



Thank you.

To the best of my knowledge slip glazes can be used under or over glazes
but
must all be fired together. Slip glazes almost triple the possibilities
with
glazing because:
a:they don't significantly increase the weight or
thickness of the glaze.
b:It can yield through experiments colors almost
like mixing paint
c:easy to work with
I would suggest doing some research
in the library for recipes and
compatibility issues and because I only have
second hand knowledge. i.e.
sr. project person in my clay
classes.
