Thank you so much, you have explained this process so well. I’ve been looking all over and you covered everything. Bless you! The slip recipe and thickness of application would put the dot on the i 🙏🏽🤗 Truly appreciated
Thank you so much for these detailed instructions!!! ❤ I searched the internet through and couldnfind a comprehensive guide. It looks really beautiful.
Ive had difficulty finding a reasonable one, myself. Everything I find would cost me $200 in raw materials to make. I ended up using a native ball clay out of my backyard and mixing it with the B mix body I used, until I got a satisfactory cracking pattern. The challenge is getting the right size cracks. Just experiment and you'll come up with something. This stuff doesn't have to be a rich man's hobby, even if everyone tries to make it one.
Im curious why raku kiln needs to be fired so high to 1500 degrees. The pieces were already bisque fired. No Glaze is being used that needs to melt. Since we are just heating pieces to move to combustibles why can't they be heated to say 750 or 1000 degrees? Just hot enough for the piece to ignite the paper and sawdust. Thank you for any input.
The terra sigillata is applied to the greenware and then is bisque fired, so, no, it's not wet going into the kiln. The raku slip IS wet going into the kiln. He doesn't explain why, but I'd imagine that he gets a better result with the slip cracking nicely. Note, the kiln is at 500 degrees F and stays there for 15-20 minutes to dry the slip before cranking it up to the full firing temperature.

What is “Teresa gelata?” The step to polish before bisque? I hear it, it’s transcribed that way, but can’t find it. Thanks!
Terra Sigillata

What is your recipe for the slip
Can you please tell me where you got the metal cart you have the kiln on ?
👏👏👏
Where can you purchase terra siggalata?
does the sigillata HAVE to be wet when going into the kiln ? or can you let it dry first?

so you applied the terra sig on bone dry clay or leather hard? any advantages to one or the other?
bone dry
