Stains
Ceramic stains are a great way to add bold, consistent color to your pottery. These concentrated colorants can be mixed with glazes, slips, or clay bodies to create endless design possibilities. Explore our selection of stains to find the perfect shade for your next project.
Stains give you more control over color compared to traditional oxides and underglazes. They are made from finely milled pigments that can be blended into glazes for rich, even hues or used in slips and clay bodies for integrated color. Some stains work best at low-fire temperatures, while others are stable at mid-range and high-fire, so be sure to check compatibility before use.
Mix them with water for brushwork, combine them with glazes for custom colors, or use them in layered effects to enhance your ceramic surfaces. Since stains don’t burn off like raw oxides, they offer more predictable results in the kiln. Browse our collection to experiment with new colors and techniques in your pottery work!
