Zig Sig — Smooth. Silly. Seriously Good.

Zig Sig is a ready-to-use, ultra-refined terra sigillata that makes your clay feel fancy without the attitude. Just brush it on bone-dry clay, give it a little buff, and prepare to be hypnotized by the silky glow. Perfect for functional pots, funky sculptures, and everything in between.

Why You’ll Love It

• Pre-mixed and ready to rock (no sieving, no science fair required)
• Super-fine particles for buttery smoothness and shine
• Works on earthenware, stoneware, and porcelain
• Burnishes to a soft, smug gleam
• Mixed with love in Lawrence, Kansas 

How to Zig It

1. Shake it up! The good stuff settles — wake those particles!
2. Make sure your piece is bone-dry. Like desert-level dry. Smooth the surface and dust it off first.
3. Apply 2–3 thin coats with a soft brush. Don’t glob it — thin and even is the secret sauce.
4. Let it dull (no more wet shine), then burnishwith a soft cloth, spoon, or plastic bag.
5. Fire slow and low around Cone 06–04 to keep that dreamy sheen.
6. Optional glow-up: Top with clear glaze, wax, or just flex it as-is.

Bonus Tip

Zig Sig looks best when you treat it with love — thin layers, gentle buffing, and a little dance while it dries. Science can’t explain why that last part helps, but we swear it does.
