Notes

One of the most popular Albany Slip glazes was 11% lithium, 4% Tin and 85% Albany Slip. A portion of the Alberta Slip must be milled or the glaze will crack during drying.

This recipe reduces the lithium to reduce shivering problems and it employs a frit to help melt the glaze. While it is not quite as variegated, the surface is very smooth and variation in color with thickness is still very good.

This needs to be ball milled to break down the lithium carbonate particles.
