Terra Sigillata : OM4 - White

Burnished Firing Range: Cone 012 - Cone 04

Sold in 1 pint bottles

Colloidal slip used for decoration and burnishing to achieve a fine shine on low-fire unglazed pieces. Terra Sigillata can produce a beautiful satin surface in a variety of colors.

Application and Firing:

Terra sigillata can be applied by spraying, dipping or brushing at all stages of construction. Apply several coats and burnish or simply polish with your hands or a soft cloth when damp/dry to the touch. Polish between coats for the glossiest surfaces. Terra sigillata can be fired at any temperature but the polished surface will start to break down when fired over cone 04. Use as a slip/engobe up to cone 10 and above.

Adding Colored Mason Stain:

Add between 1/2 ounce and 1 ounce of Mason stain to color 1 pint of terra sigillata. Note that very high amounts of stain may prevent a fine burnish
