I was just reading about ball mills and they have either lead, steel, or ceramic balls inside which agitate to grind the material inside into a fine powder. I may see if I can get a small one at Harbor Freight. It would help with making any kind of slip or terra sig I think.Linda Starrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04364078667554676592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7184126423669640998.post-22380215904605948812011-07-12T09:06:48.357-04:002011-07-12T09:06:48.357-04:00beautiful work. i really l like the serving bowl.

On some of the clay I did thin it way down into terra sig, but it results in very small amounts remaining and I only have so much of the clay. I thought I could extend what I have by grinding it.
