Hi Dennis, I bought a small amount about a year ago from Axner's in Oviedo,
Fl. You might give them a call at

Dennis,
I was able to get Newman's red from Axners. I made up a terra sig with a
small amount by ball milling about 20 hours and like it a lot. It gave me a
nice red at ^5 in oxidation. I intend trying it at ^10 reduction shortly.

Good Question!!
I would try the usual sources...Standard, Axner, Highwater, Bailey etc.

Hi Tom,
I saw your post about using Newman's Red for terra sig. Would it
have to be ball milled? If so, would it be possible to do a small amount
with a pestle and mortar (don't have a ball mill).
You said you fired to cone 5 oxidation, was this burnished or just
applied like a regular slip, and if so, did it retain any of the burnished
look?
Sorry for all the questions, but I would really like to do some
terra sig with mid-fire porcelain.
Thanks in advance.
All the best.
