Thank you both. This is a clay recipe I found on glazy (it’s a ^10 throwing clay).
I’m very new to mixing my own clay. I measured out my dry materials and added water and mixed with a drill. The last time I made clay I added water slowly and kept wedging the clay. This time I added a lot more water and so it’s a pretty loose slip.
-
Is it important that the slip homogenize for a period of time, or can I begin drying the slip out relatively soon after mixing the clay?
thanks!

Bumping this just in case anyone has a lead before I pay to have one made!

Bumping an old thread to see if anyone has a lead on a wheel for sale, or possibly info on someone who can build one for me. Located in NYC but willing to travel.

Located in NYC but willing to travel. I know it's unlikely but before buying a new one, I'd like to see if anyone knows of a Leach treadle wheel that needs a new home. Thank you!
Porcelain Slip & Flashing
in Clay and Glaze Chemistry
Posted
This is maybe an odd question, but I would appreciate any input… I have a porcelain clay that flashes beautifully in atmospheric kilns. However, it’s not a great clay for hand building and the type of work I’m making. As such, I’ve transitioned to a darker stoneware that’s groggy and can be manipulated as needed.
My question is this: if I make a slip out of the aforementioned porcelain (let a few pounds dry out, slake and mix), and apply it to my stoneware pieces (dip or spray), could I expect similar flashing results as I’d get had I made the pieces entirely out of the porcelain? That is, will the slip flash the same way as the clay would? Forgive me if this is obvious. I will test, but any input is greatly appreciated.
