Dani Posted December 4, 2016 Report Share Posted December 4, 2016 How do I color clay the way Richard Gill colors his plaques? The attachment shows an example of his work. Is the color added on raw, bisque or fully fired clay? What to use - Underglazes commercially made or colorants mixed with a frit? I have 17 different colors of colorants I could use and will be experimenting using them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcia Selsor Posted December 4, 2016 Report Share Posted December 4, 2016 You can go either way. Making underglazes with a frit would be cheaper in the long run. Val Cushing's ^04 recipe is frit 3110 25%, EPK 25%and stain 25% The 25% stain would depend on what shade you really want. . It comes to 75 but not my recipe. COmmercial underglazes can sometimes be pro blematic. Sometimes they scale, or flake. many people in Texas love Mayco underglazes. THey get good results. Amacoalso has several good lines of underglaze for different temperatures. Marcia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dani Posted December 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2016 Thanks Marcia. On Richard Gill's work, do you think he applied the underglazes to leatherhard clay and then fully fired it? Does that sound reasonable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
