Hi Karen, I love your videos - thanks so much! I have a question about iron oxide. I use red iron oxide mixed with water, but it won’t stay mixed and ends up all clumped on my pieces. It’s very difficult to work with, but I prefer the look to that of underglaze. Do I need to add something to the water and should I be processing it somehow? Thanks.
I know there is also a less stable yellow. Also, I use a frit with my iron oxide, to help it melt to the surface of the pot if I’m not glazing. I have a separate video on how I mix it. If you want other colors, I would just recommend using underglazes to achieve the same sort of look as the iron oxide, with the exception being it won’t melt with the cone six glaze like I show the iron oxide does!
So helpful, I've been looking for this info for so long, you have really helped me thanks
Wow! All three ways are great looking. Thanks for showing how! Cheers!

Thank you so much for the videos. I have a question Can I do the same process with high fire
i’m planning to make a clay shoe. would a mary a mary jane be easier than a nike?
A Mary Jane may be easier- but it also has less structural support- which could pose challenges!
Hi Karen, is that black iron oxide vs red iron oxide?
Oh, yes- I should have mentioned that! I actually only use the black iron oxide with my students, so I didn't think to differentiate!
@@KaransPotsAndGlass Are there other colours of iron oxides besides red and black? Thank you. 😊
