Absolutely loving all your pottery videos. Hearing you give such knowledgeable information about the way this pottery was made is my favorite part. While I also enjoy watching the video very much, sometimes I put them on in the background and work on my own pottery as I listen to your videos. Excited for more of your informative videos that both illustrate visually but also give verbal information.
Yes some. Terra sig appears to be made with certain types of clay and contains Deflocculant. My slip is made from a smectite clay that will absorb and hold onto the organic paint. And my slip is levigated like tera sig, which is just a process to purify clay.
Awesome videos, I just discovered your channel. I am going to try to fire some slab construction pieces in a wood fire in my backyard. I was wondering, after watching this and your videos on firing clay in a fire, what cone clay do you use, and how long do you fire your pottery?
I dig my own clay from nature so no idea what "cone" it is. I have found that just about any commercial clay can be used in these conditions if it has enough temper, see this video for more ruclips.net/video/n1zwTqlu4GI/видео.html
I live in Tucson, Arizona where it is very dry, and my studio is on my back porch so it is dryer than inside. I do add water sometimes and I am careful to dry the pot slowly, wrapping it up in plastic or cloth to slow the drying. A lot of details are edited out of the videos to keep them from being boring.

Thanks for watching, I am glad you are enjoying my content.
Another amazing video Andy.
I can’t wait for my clay to dry to make a larger pot like yours.
Thanks 👍
Is there a difference between your white slip, and terra siggillata?

Amazing

I don't understand how your clay never cracks. It looks like you never use water. Is it a humid area?
I think its just the high quality of the clay. Its plasticity is very good.
