Notes

Alberta Slip is a great base for black glazes at cone 10 reduction, only 1% black stain is needed to obtain a jet black glossy. Increasing amounts of stain up to 5% move toward a matte black for Mason 6600 (they remain glossy for Mason 6666). Adding 5-10% black stain and 5-7% iron produces a crystalizing intense gunmetal black. Mixtured additions of Mason 6600:6666 (e.g. 1:1, 2:2) produce metallic surfaces.

Like other high-percentage Alberta Slip glazes, you must use a mix of calcined a raw powder. See the preparation page at http://albertaslip.com for more information.

A jet a black glossy glaze for cone 10R is as easy as 1% black stain and 99% Alberta Slip (Mason 6666 or 6600). Of course, the 99% is a mix of calcine and raw material (starting at 50:50).

Roasting Alberta and Ravenscrag Slips at 1000F: Essential for good glazes


This picture has its own page with more detail, click here to see it.

Roasted Alberta Slip (right) and raw powder (left). These are thin-walled 5 inch cast bowls, each holds about 1 kg. I hold the kiln at 1000F for 30 minutes. Why do this? Because Alberta Slip is a clay, it shrinks on drying (if used raw the GA6-B and similar recipes will crack as they dry and then crawl during firing). Roasting eliminates that. Calcining to 1850F sinters some particles together (creating a gritty material) while roasting to 1000F produces a smooth, fluffy powder. Technically, Alberta Slip losses 3% of its weight on roasting so I should use 3% less than a recipe calls for. But I often just swap them gram-for-gram.
