Alumina Hydrate
€3.50
Source of Alumina in Glazes
Spodumene Substitute
€18.00
Sold by the pound. Substitute for Spodumene. A source of lithia, which is a flux, that helps to develop copper blue tone glazes. Can replace feldspar and also reduces the vitrification temperature and shrinkage rate in glazes.
Soda Ash
€3.50

Bone Ash
€3.50
Calcium phosphate source.
Alberta Slip Clay
€3.50
"A popular Canadian blended substitute for the old Albany (NY) Slip. Albany Slip was frequently used as a glaze additive, and boasted a high proportion of fluxes, which combined with a very fine grain caused it to melt at around 1240˚C. See also Albany Slip Substitute and Arroyo Slip."
Cornwall Stone sub by Laguna
€3.50
This Cornish Stone substitute is a calcium feldspar mineral used as a major constituent of glazes, and occasionally as a flux in bodies. Cornwall Stone is partially kaolinized, and can contain between 5-12% Kaolin. Nearly free from Iron, it is very white and opaque. Due to a 50% rise in the cost of already expensive Cornwall Stone Substitute a...
