about applying the white slip, waiting until it dries and then glazing and
firing only once?
Using white slip over a not-white clay body allows
many glazes to look a little brighter, like they do
over white clay. Apply the slip to the wet clay. If
you wait 'til it's leather-hard or almost dry, try
using a white engobe instead, formulated for that
level of shrinkage. Bisque normally, then glaze
normally. Don't one-shot fire it unless that's what
you usually do with that glaze/clay combination.
