I have fooled around a little in the past with terra sigilata, with not
much success. I want to get serious about this one now. I have a small
ball mill. Can someone direct me to a method that will give really good
results and a fine burnished surface. Thanks.

"Near Enough is Good Enough for anything but Sigillata" was an
article I wrote a few years ago.
It would not qualify as the most authorative information on this
topic but might contain something that might help
There are a few illustrations too.
