i love it
That's great. Thank you 😍
Very good very nice 👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏
Many many thanks😍
thanks soooo much🌷
You're welcome Taly 😊
Thank you 🇮🇪
You're welcome Patricia 😊
Greeting from Ireland Thank you so much your very inspirational.
Would it be possible to mix the Mazon Stain to plaster too colour it.
Greetings Patricia😍Good question. Unfortunately no. Because plaster is porous and is not fired in the kiln the mason stain will come off like does on your hands with clay until it is fired in the kiln. However, you can add acrylic paint once the mixture is smooth and free of lumps. Test it out on a small amount of plaster to see if you get the desired results.😊 Hope this helps
Thank you for your informative video. Where did you get your spray bottle?
Thank you very much Kimberly 😍 It is in the show notes for you. Go to the video and hit (SHOW MORE) It is under - Tools and Supplies Used in The Video. I really like it. It comes in so handy in the studio😊
Would this not stick to the kiln shelf when fired love the idea thank you.
That is a great question Ann 😊 No it will not stick to your kiln shelf because the mason stains or (colorants) have no silica, alumina, or fluxes that glazes contain. The only thing that could happen is if use too much it can leave stains in your kiln. It has not happened to me but that is what my teacher told me.
Can you use the clay straight way .or let it sit for a while?Love your videos
Good question Denise. Yes you can use it straight way. 😊Thank you 🤗
Love this I'm gonna pound dry reclaimed to a powder then add the stain,need some flesh color for faces on my gnomes Any suggestions for a mason stain,How about underglaze too ,thanks
Sounds great! I just made some gnomes. I love gnomes.💖 I used pink mason stain and it turned out great.😍 Did you see the colored slip video also? th-cam.com/video/95KkiwlOOko/w-d-xo.html
Thankyou for the tip🤗
Another wonderfully informative video, thank you, Marie! 💛 Why do you suppose some artists mix mason with slip and then let it dry on plaster bats? For color consistency or does the color come out differently using this method?
That's a really good question.😊 I won't do it that way, but different potters use different techniques to achieve the same results. It's like underglazing at different stages of the clay. you still achieve the same results. 😃
@@PotteryCrafters Excellent, thank you for answering my many Qs! 😊 I’ve learned so much from you and find your energy so relaxing and encouraging, so thank you for being a wonderful teacher. 💛
You're welcome. Thank you for your support. You watching helps this channel😍
@@PotteryCrafters I’m so happy to be here! ☺️ I have one more question related to bisque firing mason stained porcelain clay cone 6. Can these be stacked in the kiln or will they stick together?
That's a good question. No, they wouldn't stick together but you still have to keep them separated because mason stain will go onto your other pottery. 😊
@11:12 😄😍 you're an artist. Now change that color to pink.
Now That's funny. That would be cool. 😊 I do have a video where I'm using the blue, red, and pink slip. here's the link if you haven't seen it and want to check it out th-cam.com/video/troAU7Dt5yQ/w-d-xo.html
@@PotteryCrafters love it "stay dirty"
How do you make the swirl pattern? I would love to see a video about it!
Great suggestion!😍 Thank you so much Renāte. I will put it on my list. I use 2 different colors in my wedging video to give you an idea of how the two clors swirl together. th-cam.com/video/LVAf0MRGOsQ/w-d-xo.html 😊
Hi Marie just one question, is mica powder can be use to color the white clay. Thank you
Very good question. Wish you could . They have such cool colors, but you can't use Mica in the kiln. Here is a link for Mason stains 😊 geni.us/wIXqYcz
Hi! What cone did you fire these to to keep the color? Thanks!
Hi Christi. You would have to low-fire the clay to Cone 06 to 04 to keep the color. The higher temperature you fire the clay, the darker it will become. That is something to keep in mind when adding the mason stains. 😊
Marie, not following how this creates the swirl in the thrown piece, can you please explain? Thank you.
Hi Adriel. After you make the colored clay you would take a piece of white clay, then colored clay then white clay and colored clay on top of each other. Put the clay on the wheel and and as you throw it will create a swirl pattern.
Thank you!
Interesting about just setting on top, instructor ingrained in me to wedge every single time.
Yes Adrel. I thought the same thing when I was first showed how to do it. I am careful not to create air holes when I place the clays together.
Hi 😊
After the color is fully mixed into the clay, don’t you wear cloves anymore to turn or sculpt?
I want to make some sculptures that are ultra marine, really electric blue. What would you recommend?
And can I use white paper clay for this? That’s my favorite clay at the moment 😅
Hi 😊 Those are good questions. No I don't wear gloves because the stain does not transfer onto my hands as much and washes right off. I would recommend this stain - here is the link for you geni.us/MFjXr4h the more you use and the higher you fire the darker it gets. Yes you can use the white paper clay. It sounds like a great project. Have fun.
@@PotteryCrafters thank you so much for your wisdom 🥰
Can you do this with low fire white clay?,
That is a very good question Gaby. Yes you can 😊 Here is a link to one for you to check out geni.us/wIXqYcz
Hello, can I mix mason stains using Laguna white clay, but when wet the clay looks grey. It turns white when fired.
Good question. Yes, you can. I have used Laguna white clay and mason stains also. Yes, you are right the wet clay is gray and turns white when fired. 😊
@@PotteryCrafters omg thank you for the quick reply. I was a little worried, cause that's the only clay retailers sell in my country x.x
You are most welcome. Glad I could help. 😊👍
Can we use the liquid under glaze colour??
That is a good question. Yes you can. Underglaze is just a little more expensive then stains. 😊
How do you then clean the stain off the wooden board so it isn't there to change your next color mix?
That is a very good question. 😊 The mason stains will stain our board so I use a separate board for colored clay. I mix different colors on the board and the colors don't get mixed together because I clean the board real good. I just don't want my main wedging board to have stains on it. 😊 Sure is cool to work with colored clay.
@@PotteryCrafters Just the usual cleaning of scrubbing with soap and water?
Yes 😊
@@PotteryCrafters Thanks.
What about more than one color spiraled, can it get muddy? I wanted to do a navy, Robbin egg, white & light yellow. Wasn’t sure if the yellow would just disappear 😂
Good question. Yes you can make different colors and spiral them and they won't blend together if you don't mix them too much. The yellow will show better after you fire. 😀😀
@@PotteryCraftersthanks so much for your reply!!! ♥️
Would food coloring not work I’m a newbie
Hi Jill. That is an important question. Yes you are right, it would not work. The food coloring would burn off in the kiln. It would have to be a mason stain or oxide. 😊
@@PotteryCrafters would it be ok in self drying clay then
Yes. That will work. 😊
I never see the show notes can you help? Tks
Hi Cory. I sure can. Below the video in the discerption click this 👇 SHOW MORE SECTION 👇
