Question
I wish to locate a source for blue "wedgewood jasper ware" slip.  Or, if you know where I might find a formula for this slip. I would like the slip to fire in the range of cone 1-6. thank you, steve

Answer
Steve,

I've not seen a recipe exactly for jasper ware, but I would think you could stain slip whatever color you desire to match the typical green for jasper wares. Here's an article that may be of help and a website you may search and contact. I have learned so much from this site;

Hope this helps. Leisha
