Notes

In oxidation, Alberta Slip creates a glaze that is more transparent and lighter in color. It also melts less than in cone 10R so a little flux is needed (thus the use of the frit here). Since Alberta Slip is plastic, you need to use a mix of calcined and raw powder (see http://albertaslip.com for information on preparation of the calcine).

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.
