Hey People
Anyone out there with a copy of Cynthia Bringle's white slip that is
called "Wet, Dry, Bisque"?
I have been storing it in my "piling system" for the last 5 years and
now can't locate it... %$#%#T$#!!!! Tomorrow I'll stop procrastinating
and get organized. :-/
Charlie Riggs
Thanks in advance

Charlie - - - I have been more or less lurking on Clayart and drinking in
the vast amount of information, humor and wisdom (plus a little hogwash)
for some time now and been hesitant to chime in. But this is my third post
today! I guess I felt that since I had something to really contribute, I
should pay back all you generous and interesting people. I happen to have
a recipe for Bringle slip which is amazing for it's ability to work on
greenware and bisque. Here it is - - -
Bringle slip
EPK 20
Ball clay 20
Neph syen 25
Flint 30
Borax 5 ( I substitute gerst bor with good results)
Bentonite 2

Sittin in front of my computer here at work, looking as though I am

Sondra, thanks for contributing, I'm excited about this slip. WHAT CONE?
You're fitting in just fine, the WHAT CONE bellow shows up regularly.
Joy in Tucson got to get my swamp cooler in gear, seems like just yesterday I
hauled the wood stove into storage.

I have a great engobe that works like a glaze ( too much frit) but it fits
everything and comes out shiny-cool.I have been watching the recipes for
slips with an interest for the colorants.Haven't seen a black yet--anybody
out there have a reliable combination of oxides to make a black,black?I had
one that combined three-one of which was cobalt-but I can't find my first
little recipe book and the tests I've done are giving dark browns.Any help
would be greatly appreciated!!

A note on the slip recipe containing 5% borax that's been on ClayArt of
late... I used a recipe from Daniel Rhodes book Clay and Glazes for the
Potter that contained 5% borax, a soluble ingredient.
I found that if the slip sat over time, the borax formed hard crystals
in the slip that would fire to glassy spots if not screened out. Since I
like my leatherhard slip thick like yogurt, it was really unworkable to
think about screening all that slip.
I say avoid soluble ingredients. Slips aren't as sensitive as glazes to
compositional changes. Ditch the borax; you may end up screening it out
anyway if you store you slip for extended periods. Add more flux if
needed instead.

Dear Clayarters - - Sorry that I omitted the cone info for this slip, even
after being aware of that "WHAT CONE bellow" ! I got the recipe from a
person who fires at C/5-6 and have always assumed that it was for that
temp. At least I can say that I use it for C/5-6 with no problems. I'm
fairly sure that it could be used at a lower temp as well, but maybe should
be tested for higher cone use.

In the archives, there are two slip recipes by Cynthia Bringle posted as
having the name Wet, Dry, Bisque Slip. They are identical except one
contains Custer feldspar and the other contains nepheline syenite. Does
anyone know for a fact that both of these can be used on dry or bisqued as
well as damp clay? Most of the postings refer to the neph sye version as
having this quality. (As for the Custer spar version, it is my favorite for
damp clay at ^10.)
To see the postings, search Bringle Slip and look for these names as well:
Wonder Slip, and C Slip.

Dear Anne,
There are good receipes for each kind of engobe in Daniel Rhodes ("Clays
and Glazes..."). and each for 3 different cone ranges of clay and firing.
Nepheline Syenite is used for each of the cone 1 - 6 range. I have used the
'dry' one a lot and it is excellent. (As you would expect from Rhodes!)
good luck, MaryDay
Anne Wellings on sat 23 mar 02
Hi, MaryDay-
Thanks. Yes, I've been using that page of engobe recipes in the Rhodes book
as a resource for many years. I formerly used his ^10 recipe, but switched
to the Bringle because it is a bit more vitreous and I need that for the
type of decorating I do. I use my slips without glaze, and certain colors
like blue show up better with the Bringle Slip.
Then when I switched to ^6, I used the info from Rhodes to convert the ^10
Bringle slip to a ^6 version. I didn't know at the time that she had a
version with neph sye in it that ended up being almost identical to what I
had come up with. (The only difference was that mine contained some talc,
unlike Bringle's, an idea from Rhodes.)
My question came about because I was helping someone find slip recipes in
the archives and ran across both these Bringle recipes that I had been
using and was surprised to see them both referred to as Wet/Dry/Bisque Slip.
I would have assumed that they could only be used on leather hard clay. I
am not really interested in using slip on anything but leather hard clay,
but I just wanted to check out the information. I thought it odd that both
these recipes, one with Custer spar and the other with neph sye (but
otherwise identical), would be called the same thing and have this notable
versatility. To me, it seemed the neph sye version was the more plausible
candidate for this. I wanted someone to confirm or deny that the Custer
version would work this way, too, but no one has.

Dear Anne -
Thanks for your e-mails - I see what you mean. From your description it
sounds as though there must have been some kind of misprint...?? It is
indeed hard to believe in that versatility.
Your use of unglazed vitreous slip sounds very appealing.
MaryDay
