yedrow Posted January 21, 2013 Report Share Posted January 21, 2013 I can't find any recipes for a cone 6 "color active," or fluxing slip. I'm really not sure what designates a slip as such, beyond the presence of more than normal percentages of flux(s). If I were to use a lower cone slip would it act like a color active slip? Joel.

Mark C. Posted January 21, 2013 Report Share Posted January 21, 2013 Colored slips for me are slip (made from whatever clay body I choose) with added colorants to get a colored slip.-Fluxing slips for me are slips with fluxes added or lower cone clays which flux at high temps-I never have used ether . I have colored porc or stoneware to make colored slips-most of this has been salt fired. I have no idea what a color active slip is? Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iforgot Posted January 22, 2013 Report Share Posted January 22, 2013 I'm not totally sure, but i think if you added like one part frit 3124 to one part colored slip you'd have a color active slip. Darrel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darrel Thanks Darrel, I'll try a test using 3124. I'm not sure either Mark. For now it is a pottery term that is awaiting concise definition. Like so many other pottery terms, it may never find one, heh. Joel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
