This actually looks really fun. I searched around trying to find slip on ceramics videos after watching penguinz0 but now I'm a bit more interested in pottery.
Question…how to you paint colored slip on red terra cotta clay? Will red clay slip take color, or do I need to use a lighter color clay to make slip. If both clays are low fire 06-04) can slip that is from a different clay body work?
One technique I like to do with my pottery is apply slip like you did, let it dry, apply wax, add another color of slip, wipe the other part off. I have been thinking about doing the same thing but instead of adding the wax or second layer of slip I would do exactly what you did, wait till it is bisque fired, then add underglaze or an oxide wash to the grooves and wipe away.
This is liquid withe clay whit pigments, strictly used when your piece is still quite wet so it dry up at the same, underglaze colours are used after fired.
Ceramic stains are one choice; the most common stains available in the US are called Mason stains. Another option is to use powered metals; for example cobalt oxide. Food coloring will burn out when fired in a kiln. Stains come in powered form and are identified by both a name and number i.e Ivy 6223. They come in a wide variety of colors and the resulting color is very constitant. They are sold by weight and the cost varies widely between colors. The metals also can do a nice job coloring slip and like the stains the cost varies a lot depending on what you are buying. One of the most common is red iron oxide (think rust). It is inexpensive, easy to use and quite safe. **Now this is very important. All ceramic materials should be handled with great care and some of the oxides and carbonates used to color slips and glazes are VERY bad for you. Chrome,Nickel,and Manganese are not to be used lightly and many potters will not have them in their studios. In order to get good and repeatable results, you weigh out the colorant used and add to a measured amount of slip. No matter what colorant used you want to keep dust to an absolute minimum so mix gently at first when wet. After it is more or less blended I like to use a hand blender tothoroumghly mix. I then run it through a sieve but some people skip this part. It is not difficult at all but for best results be methodical, familiarize yourself with the materials and *ALWAYS wear a mask when working with dry materials.

Thank you, would be nice to see the finished piece.

Nice video. Would love to know what is your slip recipe and colorant ratio? Thanks for sharing.

Perhaps you should mark the containers and not just the lids?

Whats the recipe for the slip?
What difference does distilled water make in the creation of slip? I've always used tap water...thanks!
Nice
nycu
Incomplete!
If a colored slip isn't glaze, why were you using a "Glaze only" brush?
not even apart of this class, wish i was tho
What's the difference between this and underglaze?
This is liquid withe clay whit pigments, strictly used when your piece is still quite wet so it dry up at the same, underglaze colours are used after fired.
Not showing the fired piece is disrespectful to the viewer.
Can we use acrylic color
No way
ouch my ears whats with that beginning music
What is used to add to slip to color it? Is it powdered pigment? Is it food coloring? Thank you, VERY appreciative of your videos!
