These clay coloring slips allow for the creation of hue with a dry, earthen
texture when applied to greenware. Fired to Cone 5, they become
vitreous. Ideal for accentuating the natural color of the clay and for
adding decorative accents. Do not contain lead, and are safe for food
and beverage containers when properly fired. Available in liquid pints
only.
Note: An engobe and a slip are similar, and sometimes people mix them
up. A slip is colored clay, while an engobe also has a small amount of
flux added which makes it melt slightly, like a glaze. It is part way
between a slip and a glaze. (Images shown half
bare glaze, half with a clear on top)
