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 or with an immersion 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. 

WARNING: Use only in a well-ventilated area. Avoid breathing dust. Wear a NIOSH-approved respirator during use and handling of ceramic stains. Wash hands after use.
