Of course, "ink" is a misnomer of sorts...
Anyone there ever made "copper ink" or a thin washlike
deal to paint or draw on pots prior to primitive pit firing?
I have a bunch o copper--
powder.
Any favorite vehicle in which to make it
liquidy as it sits on the surface and
does odd lowfire things?
I've used wire often but never painted/drawn with
liquid form.
Thanks,

Diane,
I've used metallic copper acrylic paint as a wash and it remained after
low-firing. Maybe a copper gel pen would work for a finer line if you
didn't want to brush your design.
If you use a glaze with the copper powder, it will turn green, I've tried
that too.
