Introduction

'Terra Cotta' (Italian for 'baked earth') is red burning earthenware, generally unglazed. Terracotta is normally used to make sculptures, tile, planters, garden and architectural ware. If ware is glazed the ware is often referred to as 'red earthenware' rather than the term 'Terra Cotta'. (Tony Hansen, DigitalFire)
I chose the expression « Terra Cotta » for my low-fire red/brown clays

« Terra Cotta » (Italien pour « terre cuite » est de la faience faite d’argile cuisant rouge, généralement non vitrifiée. La terre cuite est normalement employée pour faire des sculptures, des tuiles, des pots à fleurs, des articles pour le jardin, et architecturaux. Si les articles sont émaillés, ils sont souvent désignés « faience rouge » plutôt que Terra Cotta.
(Tony Hansen, DigitalFire)
J’ai choisi l'expression « Terra Cotta » pour mes terres rouge/brunes de basse température.

The recipes of the clays posted here are the results of a research project conducted 15 years ago by my friend Bernard Brunette and I.
Les recettes des argiles publiées ici sont les résultats d'un projet de recherche mené il y a 15 ans par mon ami Bernard Brunette et moi-même.

Équivalences des feldspaths
Américain = Français
1-Feldspath Potassique Custer = Feldspath ICE 10B (DAM)
2-Feldspath Sodique Kona F-4/ = Feldspath CR 79 (DAM)
3-Felspath Potassique G-200/ = Feldspath ICE 10B (DAM)

N.B : Le G-200 contient moins d’oxyde de calcium (CaO) que le Kona F-4. Mais je n’ai pas trouvé d’équivalence en France; donc on recommande l’utilisation du Custer partout où apparaît le G-200.
