Description
These stains are for adding into clay, using as washes, adding into glazes or into decorating slips or creating underglazes.
Stains give a more predictable colour than using oxides especially at lower temperatures.

When mixing stains into clays or decorating slips they will obviously become a pastel shade.
The picture shows two fired results – at the top the stain has been put into a white decorating slip – and the bottom half of the picture is the stain in a transparent glaze.
