    This document provides a recipe for an STA decorating slip that can adhere to ceramic pieces at all firing temperatures. The slip consists of 25% each of EPK, ball clay, flint, and Cornwall stone, 12.5% each of nepheline syenite and potash feldspar, plus 2.5% Zircopax and 2.5% frit 3195. It also lists recipes for different colored slips using ceramic oxides. A saturated iron slip containing 25% red iron oxide is recommended for thin applications on greenware to achieve iron colors through the glaze.

    STA Decorating Slip

    There are abundant recipes for general-purpose decorating slips, and a popular notion holds that any
    white porcelain claybody thinned to a slip will work as a base slip for decorating. The caveat is that it
    depends on the claybody being decorated, the type of application, and the colorants added. For many
    years we have used recipe that claims to work at all temperatures, but in fact has often been problematic
    at all temperatures. The recipe below was provided by Shasta Krueger and is used widely at Utah State
    with good results. It’s called STA Slip, which stands for “stick to anything.” A ubiquitous high-fire
    porcelain claybody recipe contains equal parts kaolin, ball clay, potash feldspar, and flint, and that’s
    exactly what this recipe is with a few minor changes. The 2.5% Zircopax helps to give opacity. The
    substitution of 12.5% nepheline syenite for half of the potash feldspar and the addition of 2.5% 3195 frit
    should help adhesion at all temperatures.

    *Saturated Iron - - - - - - 25% Red Iron Oxide (thin applications only – see below)
    *The saturated iron slip is specifically intended for thin applications on greenware where you want the
    iron color to come through the glaze. A good example is on white shinos, where this iron slip will come
    through as a red-brown or brown color. Also, when you want to achieve brush-painted iron brown marks
    or banding on a glaze, it is better to do the brushwork with saturated iron slip on greenware rather than
    iron oxide wash on the raw glaze. If applied under the glaze on bisqueware, iron oxide wash can cause
    glaze-crawling. Overglaze, fresh iron oxide brushwork is so easily smeared while handling the ware
    before firing. Using the saturated iron slip on greenware eliminates both problems.
