hello, I just finished a life sized figure in high fire rakku paper clay, glazed and fired white on cone one. anyway, I want to stain it to make it look black covered in white ash, and I would like opinions on what to use to do this, i thought about a black water based paint mixed in water to make a black wash, however I would like some options that will be a bit more permanent, as I will then be placing poloroid 669 emulsion on it then covering that with a uv protecting clear coat.
thank you

Black paint should work OK. Black India ink (the
permanent kind) might be good, too. (It contains
lacquer as the binder.) Fired-on black engobe
would be a really archival surface, though. It's
never too late to fire something again!
I don't know much about Polaroid emulsion, though.
Is is really so permanent (or fussy) that the
archival properties of the material underneath are
important?
