futurebird Posted May 31, 2013 Report Share Posted May 31, 2013 My clay is "yixing" and it comes to be bone dry. Then I crush it up in to chunks re constitute it and then add a little plum vinegar or beer and rest it. This is working OK. The other day I added too much water and turned a batch to slip. I poured the slip in to low containers and let it evaporate. Well, I inadvertently separated the clay! One of bodies is without any grit, and one has too much. But could this be useful? I've been trying to get my teapots to have a higher shine and the grit free clay is VERY shiny-- and it has a lot of sparkling mica flakes too.

Marcia Selsor Posted May 31, 2013 Report Share Posted May 31, 2013 I think you made a crude terra sigillatta. And you know how it works. marcia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
