Jon & Jeff - I corrected the description on the photo Tony posted 3 years ago.

We have a very old bag of Albany Slip at our studio which I have tried in a variety of recipes, none of which look nearly as interesting as Alberta slip.  Those who don't have access to Albany slip, which has not been sold for decades, are not missing much.

As in Tony's description, the blue is created by the addition of rutile, an impure ore form of titanium dioxide.

Tony will have to chime in here and say whether this pic belongs to the Ravenscrag recipe or the Alberta slip recipe.  They are 2 different recipes and slips.  The Ravenscrag has to have some iron added to be more like Alberta, but the Alberta was made to be a replacement for Albany.  jhp

would albany slip substitute work in place of the alberta slip?

One more time: the description is right but the title should say "Rutile Blue Alberta Slip Glaze".

Actually, I was wrong, this is Alberta Slip.
