Many Stains to Choose FromThe more stain you add to your glaze, dry clay, or slip, the darker the color will be. How much stain you add its ultimately up to each persons personal preferences. So for black, dark blues or greens, 5-10% of the total weight is usually a good place to start. For light colors, you should try 10-20%. |

Stains are fired blends of metal and ceramic oxides that have been reground into a fine powder. They are most popular at lower temperatures where colors tend to be brighter. However, most stains can also be used right up to the high fire range.
Benefits of Ceramic Stains:
Stains can produce homogeneous color which can be less interesting than the variegated and speckled color effects that can be achieved with raw metal oxides like iron, cobalt, copper, etc. But it cannot be ignored that stains are far more consistent and reliable to use.
Finally, stains dont suspend well in water to create a paintable material, so it is necessary to mix them with a compatible and paintable glaze medium for doing brushwork.
