Today I'll be showing you how I make coloured slip. These are helpful for decorations and can be used to create coloured bumps and texture.
Here is the coloured slip recipe:
100 gram Dried clay bits
7 gram Mason stain
Enough water to cover the clay bits
Equipment needed:
Immersion Blender
Containers to put the slip
White clay
Mason stain
Digital kitchen scale

My name is Yvonne, I am a potter from Vancouver BC. To me, pottery is my meditation, my getaway from stress and life. This channel is my Vlog of my pottery journey to show others the beauty of pottery, how relaxing it is, and how you can do it too!
As I mold clay, a feeling of calming and relaxation flows through me. It is a meditative process, which is why I stay silent as I work.

It was a long process but I love making different coloured slips. Hope you enjoyed the video🙂
You don’t have to go through this process. Just use you reclaimed clay when still wet. Mix mason stain into it, dry it on a plaster slab, then wedge
It's cool to watch how clay bits turn into coloured slips
Thanks for sharing the slip recipe
Thank you! Do you add 7 gms of stain for all colors? I would like to make a black slip :-)
It depends on the amount of dried clay I am using and how saturated I want the color to be. In the video, I want to make a 7% purple slip so I used 100 gram of dried clay and 7 gram of stain. Sometimes, I make 15% or 3% stain depending on the color I want. It's best to test it after making your slip. Hope that helps!
I’ve bought some mason stains to do this with but then read that some of them aren’t good for using in the clay. I have no idea where to find this information at. Any ideas? Some mason stains can not be fires to midfire temps either.
Hi Michele! I got my mason stains from my local pottery shop. If you want to get mason stains just for pottery, I think your best bet is to check with pottery stores. Some stores do online shipping too. If you are not sure which stain to use, you can email or call them for more info. Happy potting!
Can I stain stoneware too?
I would use the same clay body to make the slip so the expansion rate is the same. I have used the coloured slip on the outside of a mug for decoration. If you want to stain the clay itself, I would wedge the mason stain into the clay.
does this also work with red clay?
Thanks for asking! I have only tried making colored slip with white clay, so I'm not sure if red clay would work.
Can we replace stains by oxydes?
I haven't tried it before so I am not sure
@@YvonneCeramics i actually tested it and it works really fine ☺️ I'll just try to figure out how to have more vibrant colors, so far they're a little bit patel, I'll add more oxydes next Time.
Should the clay be without grog. And also, should the clay be the same as the clay the pot/product is made of?
It would be best without grog because the slip could become groggy. If you use the same clay as your pot it would be better as the shrinkage rate would be the same
This is tooo much work. Just take your reclaimed clay when mixed and still wet, mix mason stain into it, dry on a plaster slab until wedgeable , then wedge…..
Yes that's another way to make slip. Thanks for sharing 🙂
