Abstract

A preliminary empirical study was made in order to determine the viability of the use of a local terracotta clay, native to Saucillo, Chihuahua, Mexico, as a slip-glaze in ceramic pieces, both sculptural and functional, in the cone 6 (approximately 1220?C with a temperature increase rate of  60  ?C per hour during the last 100|C  of firing, according to Orton Ceramics reference materials) temperature range , in electric kiln oxidation firings and salt firings in gas kilns. 


The clay slip showed promising results in both oxidation and atmospheric salt firings. 


Based on the results obtained, it is considered worthwhile to continue a more rigorous testing process and characterization of the clay.
