Hello Clay Arters
Another lurker humbly comes into the light in quest of knowlege. This is my
first "post to the list".I'm pretty new to this clay thing, a little over a
year, and I realy love it. I've been reading clayart for a few months and
it's gotta be the best thing since pugged clay. There's so much information
being given so freely, so much concern, and the rants! too wonderful!
Anyway, I've got a question. Does anyone have any suggestions on finihing a
terra cotta sculpture without glazing it? Something like a wax maybe that
would still show the clay colour and textures but give the piece a more
finished look?

Try neutral shoe polish, or to variegate the color try different color
polishes......brown, oxblood, cordovan.....
I'm assuming your sculpture is bisqued.
Good luck,
Jennifer
