Vince,
Thanks for your posts on coil pots. It's really refreshing to work on
something hand built, since I spend the majority of my time at the wheel.
I've never had anyone show me how, so your instructions are very welcome.
I also wanted to thank you for your terra sig instructions. You sent them to
me a couple years ago, and I only recently got around to trying them on some
local red clay. You're right, you're right, you're right! It *is* magic.
I thought you were being a bit, um, over-enthusiastic when
you said a good terra sig was possibly the most perfect substance in
existence, but now I agree with you. This is Cool!
I've been polishing with a bit of thin plastic bag, which isn't at all
romantic, but works wonderfully. All the terra sig needs is a slight buffing
and it shines like a glossy glaze. Beautiful. I'm going to go make something
smooth and thin and artsy so I can terra sig it. :)
Thanks,
Cindy Strnad

group)

Cindy, I am just getting ready to try terra sig for the first time, and
would like to know what instructions Vince posted. I have only burnished the
clay body and regular slips, but I want that shine that I've only read
about! -thanks, Teresa

Vince this message is a ditto for me, I started
coiling yesterday with a greater confidence in my
method thanks to your instructions. Works real well
doing it your way. Now, can you let us all in on the
recipe and method of application and burnishing with
your terra sig....I wasn't a member 2 years ago, but i
am curious and could use this info too.
Thanks

Antoinette and any other interested parties . . .
I shouldn't have posted my letter praising Vince's terra sig recipe without
this URL. Here it is: http://digitalfire.com/education/glaze/terasig.htm
Vince was kind enough to post his famous instructions to the Digitalfire
website for all to benefit from. His article will tell you, far better than
I could, just how to make this magic potion. Enjoy.
By the way, I delayed a long time in trying this because I never managed to
find a wine siphon--I'm sure I didn't look hard enough. In any case, don't
let this stop you. I finally got disgusted with myself and just used a plain
old plastic tube (carefully), and it worked. I'll still keep my eyes open
for the suggested equipment, but I'm glad I tried the terra sig anyhow.

Dear Cindy; Try your local Home Brewing supply house for the wine siphon. Hank

wow--this process is more involved than others that I have read about...but the
rave reviews make it irresistible. Where might I find the wine maker's siphon?
Thanks in advance!

Hello, Hank.
Good idea. Actually, we have no local home-brewing supply house, and
at the time, I was unable to locate a wine siphon on the net. Haven't tried
lately, though, and I'm sure it would be easier to find one now. Will check
it out later tonight, probably, and if I find anything, I'll post to the
list.
