Staining Ceramic Clay Pigments Ceramics, often referred to as ceramic body stains, have vastly opened up the color possibilities for potters. And as we all know, adding color to your ceramic art can be a tricky proposition. Unlike working with paints, the raw opaque glaze you put on your prize pot or sculpture often looks completely different from the fired result. So it helps to have a good understanding of all of the options out there for ceramic artists. A ceramic pigment powder is usually a metal transition complex oxide obtained by a calcination process which shows three main characteristics: (a) thermal stability, maintaining its identity when temperature increases; (b) chemical stability, maintaining its identity when fired with glazes or ceramic matrices; and (c) high tinting strength when dispersed and fired with glazes or ceramic matrices. Prepared pottery pigments, commonly referred to as ceramic stains, expand the potter’s palette with infinite possibilities. Clay pigment provides a wide range of color possibilities in clay bodies, inglazes, underglazes, and onglazes.
