Description   Albany Slip Clay Substitute: Albany Slip Clay was used extensively to create stoneware, eathenware and salt glazed pottery from the early 1800s until the mine was closed in 1986. It was also commonly used over cast porcelain insulators and other utilitarian objects alone and in combination with other high-iron glazes. As a glaze or glaze ingredient it creates dark brown as seen on early American jugs, salt glazed pottery and stoneware pots. Albany slip was also used to glaze the insides of pots as it's hard glassy finish made it ideal for food storage. Although many potters are now using Alberta Slip to fill the role of Albany Slip it is not as similar to the original as the Sheffield Albany Slip Substitute under analysis. Sheffield Albany slip substitute is near identical to Albany Slip in chemical composition.     Sheffield Pottery Incorporated has developed an Albany slip substitute utilizing a native glacial clay (see Sheffield clay) blended with an assorted amount of fluxing agents. This slip glaze produces a rich brown semi glossy glaze at cone 6-10 which mimics Albany slip glaze in reduction and oxidation firings.     If the Albany Slip was a large percentage or even 100% as a glaze, you can use our ALBANY SUBSTITUTE. This material is a glaze formula based on Sheffield Slip Clay. It is thoroughly tested and yields a glaze designed to duplicate 100% Albany at cone 10. Depending on the application the formula can be used as a component in various temperature glazes including tenmoku (or temmoku: Jian Yao) and bean pot glazes.
