Wood Jeanne on fri 29 mar 02
Greetings,
I use about 4 different white clays for use with
different temperature firings and different glaze
effects. I keep & reuse all trimmings, discarded green
pots etc, in buckets and I often get the different
clays mixed up.
More space to keep separate clays in different areas,
or better organization are obvious solutions, but
experience tells me that ain't gonna happen.
So I was wondering if anyone has a suggestion for
temporary stains or colors that could be added to the
buckets of slurry that will burn out during the firing
leaving no color trace, to help me keep track?
Thanks,
Jeanne W.
Hoping for Spring here soon.

Food coloring works fine.

Have you tried food coloring? What about clothes dyes?
you wouldn't need much of either to stain the reclaim
to a light pastel which should leave you with permanently
colored hands, and small amounts should fire out easily...
(i would still recommend testing a small batch first, just
in case... some of those pigments actually survive firing,
or at least leave a brownish stain after firing...)
Toodles,
Andi.

Hi Jeanne' ,
I mix food colouring in my wax resist and it burns out in the bisque. I have
only used blue, so don`t know about the other colours, but am guessing they
would all work. It would be a good idea to test though, since you would be
useing it in the claybody it`self. That just might make a difference. Or,
you could clearly label your recycle buckets. Lela

Use small amounts of food color. Be aware of blue, it might survive
1000C test first

You could use ink from an ink jet printer. There are 3 different colors
plus black in most printers and an "empty" cartridge still has 50 per cent
of the ink still in the cartridge. It is soaked into a little sponge that
is inside the cartridge. A messy job opening them and squeezing out the ink
but it is free.. wear gloves..
You can buy a refill kit of liquid inks for inkjets at your supplier if
you don't like the idea of opening the emptys. I know that the ink jet dyes
burn out because I have tried some to see if we could print on ceramic with
them. (We couldn't)
Another source of water soluble dye is a supplier to hand made paper
hobbiests. They use dyes that are organic and burn out. They are very
concentrated. I used some to color a couple of plaster hump molds made of a
different kind of plaster.

Hi Lela,
Thanks for your reply to my question.
I am trying food coloring now, it seems to take an
awfully lot to color a bucket of clay. Will keep this
up unless something else appears.
(also used left over easter egg dye).
Regards,
Jeanne W.
