After preparing this slip adjust to the desired consistency for applying by dipping, brush or slip trailing. This slip must only be applied to leather hard clay. Best results can be obtained by glazing with a transparent glaze such as 2201 Low-Sol Transparent or 2207 Spring Clear. Traditionally slips of this type could have been applied under a Honey glaze, such as 2800 Traditional Honey.  A honey glaze will produce amber tones over white slip.  All slips should be fired to 1110°C or higher to achieve a good "glaze fit". Although we offer our coloured slips in powder form. This slip can be used as a base for adding colours.

Also available in 2.5kg, 5kg (2 x 2.5kg), 10kg (4 x 2.5kg), 12.5kg and 25kg pack sizes.

Mixing Instructions

This Decorating Slip has been specially formulated for decorating leather hard clay in any of the traditional methods.  It is supplied as a powder for mixing with water.  

Sift the powder into a container of water.  Stir and then sieve through an 80's mesh lawn (sieve).  Leave to settle overnight.  Decant surplus water from the settled slip. Adjust the consistency by adding water if required.  

The  slips should be fired to temperatures in excess of 1110°C to ensure "glaze fit".  Recommended glazes are 2201 Low-sol Transparent or 2207 Spring Clear.  Traditional slipware will often be seen glazed with a glaze similar to 2800 Traditional Honey in the earthenware glaze range.  All slips can be fired to stoneware temperatures, but it will be found the colours will weaken.  If the slips are left unglazed the fired colours will not always be a true representation of there name.  For instance 1226 Jet Black will appear like a slate grey without a glaze.
