Using Cobalt Oxide as a Clay Colorant
Grace W replied to Grace W's topic in Clay and Glaze Chemistry
I took a class with a woman who threw in gloves, I have tried it before when I have a cut on my hand and it's definitely tricky but I can see getting used to it if I needed to. -

Helpful! I can only find information on adding it to slips and glazes really, which is why I am asking here. -
Hi there! New in town but not to pottery. I am wondering if anyone has ever used cobalt oxide as a clay colorant? I love the look and have been experimenting with it for a few years now but I am wondering about the safety of throwing with it. I do a .5 - 1% ratio with a white clay body and it creates really beautiful results but wondering if I should be wearing gloves when wedging and throwing (wearing gloves while throwing seems terrible?) I would be open to using a stain or something less caustic if I could get similar results, but I inherited some materials so have just been using what I have. Thanks!
