Thanks for the advice neilestrick and Callie, much appreciated.

Hi All hope all goes well. I am beginner potter and am mad to try out a small pit firing. I have made up some terra sig and have it bisque fired on some pieces and it seems to have worked. I have also gathered some natural materials to try add to the surface in a saggar to see what colours I can get from them. My question is re ferric chloride. I am seeing that mentioned a lot as used in firings. Do you have to add ferric chloride to the surface, when doing a pit firing, or will you still get colours on the terra sig piece without it? Thanks inadvance.
