As I understand it, it is a way of making underglazes or glazes into a
crayon-like stick (have you ever seen "pastels", artists' chalks?) so you
can make very fine, very controlled designs and lines in your decorations.
Both suppliers in Miami sell a 12-stick package for $27...and I wouldn't use
half the colors because they just aren't my thing. But if I could make my
own..........

This is how I make the ceramic pastels.
Take powder of engob, either commercial base, or the one you have
prepared.
To small amounts can be 100-200 grams, add the colorant, stain, Mason
etc.
Add water, not too much make kind of balls. roll them to pastel shape
and fire them to 100C, you get very soft pastels.
Buy, the lower cost pastel painting book. ( I shall sell you but you
must come here.) In this book you will learn the logic of the pastel
how they add 100 base than one with 5% colorant and up
If you are not brave enough to visit me, go to an art supply shop and
ask them to show you a box with 72 or 90 pastels. It will show you the
idea.
You can use oxides too but than you will have to guess the results as
some oxides look different after firing. When you paint you want to
paint not to guess!

Pastels are binders, like CMC along with the pure pigments. So yes, you can
make your own. Clay, oxides and CMC. Experiment.
