Terra Sig: colors and amounts

Here all all of the colors we used in the class. Stain names and numbers. All stains are Mason stains. We used XX Sagar, and Red Art as bases. To make the Sig mix 20 lbs of water with 10 lbs of clay and a tbsp or so sodium silicate. Mix well with a drill then let it sit for at least 1 day until it separates. The heavy particles will sink to the bottom, and the thin stuff on top is the Sig. Then mix 1.5 cups of the sig with desired colorant, and a few drops of Muriatic acid. Add a drop at a time then mix. Be careful not to add too much, the acid can gel your sig really quickly.
