This is one of the tests I made today
Desert slip raku
================
BALL CLAY (AK)...... 20.00
KAOLIN CC31......... 15.00
BENTONITE........... 25.00
smashed stones...... 8.00
talc.............. 18.00
ALUMINA CALCINED.... 10.00
BORAX............... 40.00
COPPER OXIDE........ 5.00
========
141.00
The results of this test were very interesting. The minute I removed the
cover from the reduction cans, started very fast the oxidation. In the
next time I will keep these cans closed until total cooling.
The slip behaves different when it is thick or thin. one thing is sure,
sculptural, not domestic. I belive a main point is the base, as I wrote
in my web site. In the DESERT SOIL page. Perhaps
making the body of the slip with more silica, or frit instead of the
borax this way adding more silica, can contribute to the stability of
the color. or the other hand, flak off, that did not happen this time
can contribute to the wild look of the ware.
Because of scanning problems the pictures turned out dark. Please
expand them to see them better

To be applied on the greenware when it is wet, but can hold the heavy
slip
