Terra Sig Recipe

[Suby]

Does anyone have a good terra sig recipe? I am interested in making horse hair pottery. Thank you.

Vince Pitelka has an excellent one online at his website ... Google his name and you should get a hit.

I have used a few including my old favorite from the ancient Kenny's The Complete Book of Pottery Making.

Chris's recommendation for Vince's recipe is a good one. Steve Branfman has another good one too.

Charlie Riggs has the easiest one I have ever used.

No special equipment needed and I even have an old Ball Mill. Easy to use for saggar firing workshops.

The siphoning tube can be bought at a Hardware store.

Sumi von Dassow talks about her recipe in her video clip on the burnishing process here:

For an unexpected color to the terra sigillata, check out Anne Fløche's recipe here:

Hope one of these is helpful to you.

Why isn't terra sig for sale? I'm mixing some now but how long will it last after the process?

[Chris Campbell]

I usually keep a red and a white terra sig on hand.

I've had some around for years ... Never had any problems.

If it dries up, you can add a little water as needed. It lasts, as Chris says, for years. It basically is just very fine clay particles refined from the chinkier particles in the process of settling.
