hello
i had forgotten to mention the temperature of my ware in the earlier mail
sorry,it is 1100C
i have a clay body that fires a horrible pale pastel.
I am trying to do some slip work on raw ware so i need a white slip.
Is it possible to make up a white slip by adding tin or what else?
I have tried talc ware it is not for me i need a more plastic body.
thanking all of you in advance,

Annapoorna,
A zirconium silicate may be best for giving you a
white slip. Test various amounts, starting with about
5% and working up, to see what you like.
Here the brand names are Zircopax, previously
Ultrox or Superpax.
You can also try titanium dioxide. If you use
rutile as the titanium source, you will get a warm
white to tan, due to the iron contamination.
Good potting,
Dave Finkelnburg
