Elina Esther Jurado – Intro to Terra Sigillata
Hi, my name is Elina Esther Jurado and in this workshop you will learn what terra sigillata is, how to make terra sigillata, and how you can test and experiment with application on functional or sculptural work.
Over the course of this workshop we will learn how to prepare and siphon our terrasig using RedArt and XX Saggar clays. Once our base terrasig is made we will create different colors by mixing ratios of mason stains and oxides using the line blend testing method. After we create our palettes, we will go over application and burnishing techniques in combination with glaze.
You will learn how terra sigillata can accentuate the subtle textures of your clay body without the use of glaze.
