Instructions

This is my base recipe—it ranges from white to gray to blush depending on the kiln atmosphere. I add approximately 5% additions of stain to create my colored slips. I mix to various thicknesses, sieve it through a 100-mesh screen, and overlap multiple layers to add depth and variation.
