Iron oxide and water. Thin. Much thinner than a glaze.
This, of course, requires stirring every minute or so, since there's
no binder or clay.
The idea is a thin coating over the clay.
After brushing it on I like to rub over it with a wet sponge.
It's to accentuate the texture as much as to add color.

Also, you can add a little bit of manganese to the wash for a richer color...
i would also suggest playing with a sponge.... brushing on the wash then
sponging parts off.. leaving a darker color in the texture ... etc.....

Mimi -
I am a little baffled by this. We do iron oxide washes and patinas all the
time, and never a problem except for some staining on the hands. We use a
watery oxide mix, brush it on generously with a high-reservoir-capacity
brush (like a hakeme brush), and then sponge off the high spots, rinsing th=
e
sponge frequently in a large bucket of water. If you use a large sponge,
this goes very quickly, and you can still control the amount you are
removing very effectively. If you don't want the iron oxide on your hands,
wear rubber gloves. How are you getting it all over yourself? Many of my
students use it, and the only problem they have is staining their hands.
