Sam -
You can find lots of information in an article I have at the Digitalfire
website at http://www.digitalfire.ab.ca/cermat/education/132.php

Don't be intimidated by the instructions. It really is not as complex as it
might sound at first. This is a recipe for truly superior terra sig. There
are lots of simpler recipes, but none of them has ever worked very well for
me.

Good luck -
- Vince

Have a look at my primer at
http://users.skynet.be/russel.fouts/Files/Terra-Sig%20Primer.txt

It's pretty simple really.

Hey! don't forget to look at the pots as well, ok?

Thanks, Sam

"To announce that there must be no criticism of the president, or that
we are to stand by the president, right or wrong, is not only
unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American
public." --U.S. President (and Nobel Peace Prize winner) Theodore
Roosevelt.

Cushing's HANDBOOK incl. a recipe and method for
making terra sigilatta incl. how to do it without a
ball mill. Works for me.
