Started working with terra sigillata for the first time; using ball clay and sodium silicate for the deflocculant.

Recipe found online.

- 1000g of dry clay (ball clay)
- 2100g of water

- approx 2g of deflocculant (sodium silicate)

Separation was a long process. Syphoned off with a large syringe + tube.
