“I started to add a blue mica powder to a separate terrasigilatta mix, and it definitely made a difference. The pot has more of a sheen in natural lighting thanks to the mica, and the intensity of the blue varies depending on the number of layers.
I need to run a few tests to get for the right proportions, and I have other colors i will try to incorporate at some point. There is also a satin glaze on the inside and rim of the piece. Aside from those changes, I brushed ferric chloride in some areas and wrapped fiber wire and newspaper around the form in the saggar.”
