Pottery Stains

Pottery stains are colored pigments that are added to raw or bisque-fired clay to enhance or change the color of the final product. They are available in a range of colors and can be mixed to create custom shades. Pottery stains are used to add decorative accents, create a base color for glaze application, or to mask imperfections in the clay body.

One of the most common uses of pottery stains is to add decorative accents to pieces. For example, a potter may use a stain to highlight the ridges on a vase or to create a contrasting band around the rim of a plate. Stains can also be used to create a base color for glaze application. This is particularly useful when working with a light-colored clay body, as it allows the potter to achieve a more vibrant glaze color.

In addition to their decorative uses, pottery stains can also be used to mask imperfections in the clay body. For example, if a piece has cracks or rough spots, a stain can be applied to cover these blemishes and create a uniform appearance. This can be especially helpful for potters who are working with challenging clays, as it allows them to create a finished piece that is both functional and aesthetically pleasing.
