Terra Sigillata in Boulder
Learn terra sigillata pottery finish in Boulder. Ancient burnished surfaces for modern ceramic art.
Terra sigillata is an ultra-fine slip that creates a satin-smooth, slightly lustrous surface on pottery without glaze. It's an ancient technique used by Greek and Roman potters, and it remains a favorite of contemporary ceramic artists.
At Boulder Pottery Studio, we teach terra sigillata preparation and application as an advanced surface technique. You'll learn to refine clay into this magical slip and burnish it to a soft shine.
