- The gang at the Little Street Pottery Research Facility have been at it again. This time, they investigate various effects of Mason Stains on slip. You wont want to miss the results on this one!!
If you would like to learn how to paint with underglazes check out Ann's Video Workshop Series. These workshops are very detailed (typically 1.5 - 2 hours in length) and provide step by step instruction on the painting techniques Ann uses. Thanks! vimeo.com/show...

Hi! If you want to get a red to stay true you will need one of the encapsulated mason stains... same for orange. I've gotten 6027 Tangerine and 6026 Lobster and used them in clear glaze to cone 6 and they work great!
Great tip Martha...thanks for sharing!
But beware that encapsulating chemical isn't good to breathe as it burns off make sure you super ventilate and use breathing ppe during the heat up but once it hits high fire Temps you should be good to go but keep the fresh air blowing just in case.
That's a great video and really helpful! Like you, I have found that 10% mason stain is the sweet spot for getting rich colours when making slip from dry clay. I have also experimented with colouring liquid slip. For that, I have found that for about 2 cups of slip, I need to add around 9 tsp (measured and level) of mason stain to get a nice rich colour. I add a touch of water to the stain before adding it to the slip just to make mixing it in easier. Thanks again - I love your videos! - Sue in Nova Scotia, Canada
Hi Sue. NIce to meet you. Great tip!!! Thanks so much.
Will have to watch tomorrow morning and take notes on your method of madness to get such critical results.
Having fun right now firing test tiles, so this will fit right in. So far have done 16 out of the 72 and have four that colours came out looking no too bad.
Thanks for sharing Ann!
Hi Freddie! Yes, well we are so precise in our scientific methods, haha. Good luck with your test tiles. That is always exciting!
this was great! i just start making my own color slip and it has been intersting
Thank you so much for the video
Ann, great video and thank you for your experiments. I always learn so much!
ermagawd there's a really L O N G five minute video ad playing before the vid even starts. Walking away.
you can skip the ads after 5 seconds...try again!
Hi, thanks for this video!
I was wondering if you can add multiple layers of coloured slip on top of each other onto leather hard clay. Would the layers flake off? Also, can I make coloured slip from hand-building clay (has some grog in it) with mason stains? Thanks in advance!
Yes you can! Just let them dry between layers.
I've not tried the groggy clay for slip...there are many variables but I'd suggest testing it. Let us know how it turns out.
I can’t thank you enough for doing all of this!! I tried something like this and it was soo difficult having to clean everything after each color!!
Wonderful info! Thanks you. I love your channel!!
Why dry the clay first? I just add water to the dried clay and blend it up with an immersion blender.
I dry because its easier to measure the ratio of clay to water. Thanks!
Great video as always. One suggestion, try using hot water instead of room temp. The clay and stains slake much quicker.
Wow, thanks Kathleen. I cant say that I have ever heard that tip before. I will give that a try!
@@annruel1982 I don't think hot water would work any faster, because you are not dissolving, only suspending. Also, I find that clay slakes more thoroughly if not stirred, or you will compact the clay and make a seal around the dry parts.
@@jenniferassinck803 Thanks Jennifer. That would be a good experiment for your research scientists :-)
When you say high fire do you mean cone 10? If you mentioned in video I missed it
Thanks 🙏🏻
Hi Sam. I fired the tiles to cone 5. Sorry for any confusion. :-)
@@annruel1982 thanks
@@sama8670 my pleasure
Adding 10g of stain to 100g clay is not 10% stain. The final weight is 110g. That's 9.09% stain. 11.11g of stain and 100g of clay is 10% stain and 90% clay.
OK - thanks, I think you and Jerry Benderstiff need to talk 😂. Check out our Pebble Mug Disaster vid!
Your calculation isn't correct either. 10g of stain and 90 g of clay is 10% stain. Not 11.11g.
Love your videos!!!!
Aw...thanks Vicky!! Thanks for watching!!
great testing, very helpful. i use the celedon clear too.
I am a newbie to pottery and want to slip trail with black to outline Celadon colors. Can I just add Jet Black to a white slip and skip the mason stain and breaking down old dried out clay?
You would have to use a lot of underglaze to get it jet black...better to invest in Black Mason stain.
So well explained and showing measurements. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Hello I have a question if I mix
Mason and water to make a wash can I leave it raw without glazing. So it has and oxide look too. And do I need gersly borate I think it's called. Or can I just use water and fire it. I don't have the borate stuff and I need to make my dragon fly for an ordered Christmas gift I'm firing this weekend. If you can help thanks. I'm going to see what it looks like with just water and if I don't like it, I might just glaze the beads.
Hi Heidi - I suspect that without the gerstley borate the mason stain might smudge off - the gerstley gives it some "tooth" to latch on. You may want to test it on a piece - pottery is weird, you just never know!
@@LittleStreetPottery ok thanks and I'll try something different. I just don't have a bead hanger and didn't want to use glaze if I could avoid it. I'll think of something
Great video
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Do you add clear glaze at the end to create a glossy finish?
Not usually - check out my underglaze painting 101 video to see how I typically glaze. Thanks
very helpful !
Aw...thanks so much Carol. I appreciate you watching. Im glad it was helpful for you.
St Pete shirt? Are you in fl?
Yep!
What cone did you fire?
Cone 5 thanks!
