Hi all :o) back from Linda Christionson workshop in Raleigh this past
weekend and She says one of you wonderful folk on Clay art would have the
recipe for wonderslip as she didnt know it off hand ... I'd sure
appreciate any help in this manner thanks in advance Cat Jarosz

Cat: I'm not sure exactly what Wonderslip is, but if you are talking about
an underglaze slip that works equally well on wet, dry or bisque ware, I
have one called C-slip that was given to me by Cynthia Bringle at Haystack
back in 1976. I've used it ever since then as a decorative underglaze slip
which I apply to the pieces right when I throw them. Nice thing about it is
that it fits all three stages of the pot without having to compensate for
shrinkage problems. Let me know and I'll post it.

Hi, Peter. I am not Cat but I would like to see the Bringle recipe. There
may also be such versatile slips in Piepenberg's book, "The Spirit of
Clay". I can look another time if anyone wishes. But do give us your
recipe. Thanks. Bacia

Hi Peter, I was there at Haystack with you in '76...a production workshop with
Cynthia Bringle! I remember you well. You thrilled me when you wanted a little
brown bowl I had incised with a line drawing of Haystack!! And a beautiful
teapot you made, I have never forgotten. I also still use the same slip recipe!
Nice touching base after all this time.

Hi Pete I'm not sure if it is the one or not but I'd like to try it
anyhow... I put a thick thick slip trail on my pots with a dye bottle .. I
try to put it on a wet pot but thats not always possible to do ... I use
Steve Hills porcelain slip now ... its ok but gets cracky if I apply too
thick and in too big an area ... please send what you have I'll give it a
whirl... thanks Cat

This is exactly as I collected from Clayart Last Year:
super duper greenware fixer from Lana Wilson: Magic Water - I use this
instead of slip, but can be
added to bone dry clay for deflocculated slip.
I gallon water
3 tablespoons liquid sodium silicate
1 and 1/2 teaspoons of soda ash.
*Liquid sodium silicate is also called egg keep and is sometimes available at
drugstores."
The potters in the workshop I attended who had this magic water...kept it in
small tupperware/rubbermaid airtight containers...handy to carry around....
small amount goes a long way....'

Or, it may be called "water glass". My grandmother got into trouble once
selling eggs as "fresh" that had been preserved in this liquid. They are
edible, but they -aren't- fresh!
