I am interested in the Lana Wilson recipe for repairing bisque or greenware.

Funny that you would ask. I was just reading her article in Clay Times.
I am copying this directly from that article.
MAGIC WATER
1 gallon water
3 tablespoons sodium silicate
11/2 teaspoons soda ash
PAPER CLAY
Mix by volume:
1/4 torn up toilet paper
3/4 bone dry hunks of clay (Hershey Kiss size)
Fill with Magic Water one inch above clay. Let stand overnight. In the
morning, mix using a handheld blender. Use as a slip.
When mixed to the consistency of watery yogurt, paper clay can be used as
a joining slip for leather-hard slabs. A thicker mixture is good for
patching.
