Hi Tetsuya,
sorry I don't have a tin recipe but terra sig is my love, so any recipe
that you'd like to share, would be appreciated.

Dear Clayart,
Ball clay mixed together with =22Calgon=22 is frequently used to burnish =
pots here.
Is that a terra sig.?
I have no experience at all using that, only engobe, which I make from ...ta
da...the clay I am currently
using. Is it the calgon that gives luster?

Alisa -
Some information on terra sig which I wrote is posted on Tony Hansen's IMC
webpage, located at http://digitalfire.com/education/glaze/terasig.htm

It might answer some of your questions.
Good luck -

Hi!
Those interested in TS, might want to read the Terra Sig story on my
web site (Scroll down a little on the Pottery page). If you find
yourself intrigued... let me know ...I have a few pounds of the
original Turkish stuff left...
