Hi all,
I'm jumping news groups to see if someone here can give me the recipe
I'm looking for. I fire cone 6 electric. I've been using Standard
Brooklyn Red clay and love the fired deep brick red color.
Unfortunately I hate to throw with it. I don't see another clay with
that red brick color so I think I would like to make a slip to use
over the clay that I do like. My question is: Does anyone out there
have a recipe for a slip that is brick red and works at cone 6?
Thanks,
Crystal

Why not dry out some of your Brooklyn Red clay, screen out the grog,
and use that as your slip?

Hey Crystal, here's a recipe for a nice iron red / reddish brown slip
(not sure if that's what you mean by brick red or not) that I've used on
a light stoneware fired to cone six: White Base -- EPK 40; OM #4 Ball
30; Flint 15; Custer 15; plus the colorant Red Iron Oxide 8. Hope
that helps!

turkey, stuffing, sweet potatoes, cranberry relish, and pumpkin pie I
ate yesterday!

Thank you for the recipe. I will try it. I know that "brick red" is vague
but I can't think of another way to describe it. I will also make slip out
of the Brooklyn Clay that I have left and see how that works out.
Thank you both,
Crystal
