CAC COLORED TERRA SIGILLATA – GREEN

Terra Sigillata is a ultra fine clay slip that when burnished creates a very smooth and waxy surface. This smooth surface is ideal for decoration, especially with smoke firing and other alternative firings. The surface will hold it’s sheen up to Cone 01 but the best surface texture is achieved between Cone 012-06. May also be used as a
engobe up to Cone 10.

Clay Art Center’s line of Colored Terra Sigillatas work great with the naked raku, horsehair and sagger firing techniques. The soft pastel colors contrast with the black lines created by the variegated smoke penetration of the firing process.

Directions: Shake and stir well before using. May be applied by brush, spray or dipping. Apply no less than 3 coats to bone dry greenware. Burnish the pot between coats. Bisque fire between Cone 017 to Cone 06( depending upon your final firing process). Test your clay for compatibility. Terra Sigillatas will work on most clays including terracotta. When applied to lowfire talc based bodies, terra sigillata will flake off after bisque firing.

Try these temperatures when firing depending on the process being used.
