stains and staining

MS AND K on thu 15 jan 98

Hi Group,
I'm a new potter, and a new computer user, with a few evening
courses and many flustrating hours labouring in the basemen under my bett. It
looks like it's paying off though, as I'm finally beginning to enjoy this!
I'm looking for a literature reference on stains and how to mix them into a
clay body and how to use them for surface decoration. If you know of a good
book or have any advice, I'd appreciate a response.

Thanks,

Kathy, Toronto

Kathy,
for mixing into clay bodies see "Finding One's Way with Clay" by Paulus
Berensohn. This was recently republished.
