Clay Freeze Warning: By placing a clay order you are acknowledging that your clay may freeze during shipment. If clay freezes it is not ruined, but it does require additional wedging before use.
Specially formulated for making colored clay, Mitten Inclusion Stains are guaranteed to give you the results you're looking for. These stains can also be mixed into slip, terra sigillata, englobes, white underglaze, and even used as glaze colorants.
Color results will vary depending on the base clay you choose to create your colored clay from. White porcelain will give the most vivid results. White stoneware can also be used but colors will be less vivid. Buff stoneware can be used to achieve toned down colors. The color shown is the expected result in oxidation firings up to cone 10. Results vary slightly in a reduction atmosphere.
Blender method: Provides the most evenly distributed color. Mix stain, clay, and water in a blender. Once blended, pour the mixture onto plaster and let it dry until it reaches the right consistency for wedging.
Wedging Method: Create a thick paste with stain and water and wedge thoroughly into moist clay.
Always wear a well-fitted respirator with P-100 filters when working with powdered stains. Only use in a well ventilated area or outside. All stains are lead free and non toxic.
All of the stains I ordered arrived securely packaged in a box. No spills. Shipping was timely. I look forward to using the stains in the very near future.
