I emailed the folks who have the ad in CM. As I recall
the stuff is about $5 per pound. Add your shipping on that
and you might want to check out David Hendley's Albany Slip
substitute.

Check out some of the Alberta Slip glazes I have been
working on lately at www.ceramicmaterial.info.
Log in as visitor and search for the word alberta
in the recipe area.

I have lots of pictures. There are some stunning glazes
here. I have done some of these with Albany and they
look the same. The current Alberta slip also fires the
same except it produces a more glaze with more shrinkage.

I am working on formulating a new version of Alberta Slip
material that has a lower plasticity. This stuff is better
than Albany in my opinion because it is a blend and will
be consistent.
