Dear Craig Martell,
I use Mason stains as underglaze colours up to ^8 well down and they =
work well provided the atmosphere does not reduce. If this is not =
watched the Praseodymium Yellow and some of the reds fade.
Best regards,
Ivor

Thanks for all the input on Mason Stains vs. underglaze. It sounds like
there is some cool stuff that can be used at a higher firing. Has anyone
been successful using the mason stains or underglazes as body stains in
slip. Just wondering if they hold up as well when mixed in to color the
clay.

I use Mason stains to color engobes. Works fine.
Intense colors need quite a lot of stain, and
you may have to increase the flux content to
compensate. Some colors are affected by choice
of overglaze, if any.
When you say 'underglaze', do you mean the
commercially-made ones in jars?
I would think that using underglaze as a colorant
would be diluting an expensive product to little
benefit. I'd use the underglaze 'straight' for
convenience and maximum effect, or just add
stains to an engobe for economy. I don't see
much advantage to combining the methods, except
as a 'stopgap' in the absence of the right stain
color, maybe.

Hi Julie
I sometimes use mason stains for body color. I fire to ^6. I use about one
teaspoon stain for every 100 grams of moist clay. Browns, tans and grays
need less stain, pinks, reds and violets, more.
Obviously, this isn't the frugal choice for getting color on a pot, but it
does make for some interesting patterns in the clay.
Have fun,
Lee Daniels

Thanks for the input -- i think my problem has been not using enough stain
to hold the color when I fire. I will try more stain to see how that works.
I'm just not sure if what I envision in my head is something I can
actually get to work. Guess I just have to keep trying. Thanks again.
Julie
