Very nice combination John. Love the Newman red terra sig. I've been thinking about switching to cone 6 one of these days but want to use a light body. I thought I'd need to use an iron slip to give me an earthenware look, but I think the Newman red terra sig is a great option.

John, same here. A big part of my heart is still in Western N.C.
Where did you dig up, or buy laterite?

No ball mill here, so I have to go the traditional terr sig making route.

This is what I do. You still add some deflocculant but that makes it smooth without the decanting.
