Ingredients
Instructions
This recipe is based on the classic Daniel Rhodes formula. I fire in reduction in my wood/salt kiln to cone 11. The slip would work at cone 6 and in any atmosphere. This is a tricky slip; it only crackles for a day or two after being prepared, so mix a batch and use it on the same day. Save any leftover slip and add more dry mix to it to reconstitute it. Apply to bisque-fired pots. If the crackle is deep and prominent when you apply the slip, it’s probably too thick and will flake off. Translucent glazes can be layered over it.
