matte is luxury man.... Its really pretty if you know how it design it and add some textures to it. I saw a matte colored car and I fell in love with that dark green, navy blue really really luxury look.

Thank you sooo much!!❤️

[@siiiriously3226]

great video! very helpful pdf! I am very greatful for the information you collected. How is the mixability amongst them, for the mason stain slips? is there something funky going to happen when they touch/mix?

[@nukuaceramicsbonaire]

@@siiiriously3226 I have mixed many colored slips and they just behave like slips. I have until now noticed nothing funky going on. 😉

Thanks so much for making these videos. I’ve actually learned a lot watching them. This video is especially informative for me because I was asking the same question(s) you’ve brought up here; particularly with regard to wouldn’t mason stains be more cost effective than glazes. My question is probably more subjective, but I do hope you answer it. Where is it cheapest, without compromising on quality, to buy mason stains? I’d still prefer dipping in a clear glaze after in order to get that nice shiny coating. I don’t have a kiln yet, tho I am keeping an eye out for a good used electric single phase kiln of a moderate size.

[@nukuaceramicsbonaire]

@@SammiJoReviews Hi Sammi Jo! I think Mason stains are a brand, much like Ikea. So the quality shouldn't differ where you buy it. If I buy Ikea in the US or Netherlands it shouldn't be different. I off course do not know what suppliers do with their stock of glazes, clay and stains. I have not experienced difference from suppliers I buy Mason stains from. Except for price sometimes and shipping costs. Hope this helps! Btw, percentages for adding sfains to a glaze are different from adding them to a slip. Check the Mason website for more info on that.

[@SammiJoReviews]

@@nukuaceramicsbonaire Thank you so much. I am debating on buying stains & glazes in small quantities at a time, which allow me to build up supplies for glazes, stains, & probably more underglazes. (I reclaim clay to keep extra… build up supply) I still have underglazes along with a bag of kiln wash a friend sent to me. As soon as we are able to buy enough materials, my husband plans to start building me a pottery studio that will be big enough for a kiln, fingers crossed… We are debating between a 12ft x 12ft or 12ft x 14ft. I want to have a lean-to area like yours so I can have a kiln half outside but half inside too, which does away with the need to buy the vent system. I have enough thrown now to fill a small kiln; however, it isn’t easy (or affordable) to find someone willing to do a firing at a rate that’s affordable. I wouldn’t mind a decent used electric kiln, even if it doesn’t have the pretty digital touchpad. At least with an older kiln, I feel like I’d learn so much more. Oh how I wish you & I lived close to each other. I believe I could learn even more from you. The fact that we’re both southpaws (lefties) is an added bonus. 😊☺️

I am just wondering if you can mix two or more pigments to create a different color. The green one you showed can be made very similar look with little white added to it to make a dark-ish sea green.

[@nukuaceramicsbonaire]

Yes you can! Have you downloaded the pdf? There you will see I have made colors by mixing more pigments. I use a white slip to make these so I do not have to add white, different percentages of a stain will give different shades of a color.

[@anasclayhouse]

I also love the orange color. I’ve tried the Mango Mason stain and for some reason I can’t get the color It’s supposed to be. I’ll try the orange. I mix the stains with my Kittens clear glaze to make colored celadons.👍🏻

[@nukuaceramicsbonaire]

@@anasclayhouse I mix stains with my clear glaze too sometimes! 😆

[@amyharry3071]

Obrigada Muito para o seu vídeo! É briliante! Thanks tons! Can you show me or tell me where to find the appropriate sifter for your slip?

[@nukuaceramicsbonaire]

De nada! My pleasure! Most ceramic suppliers will sell sieves for making glazes.

[@anasclayhouse]

Hi Monique, this is great information on how you make your colored slip! I have a Fb group called Underglazes Stains and Oxides where we share information. This would be a great video to share there. Thank you!❤

[@nukuaceramicsbonaire]

@@anasclayhouse Hi Ana! Thanks, happy to share. You can share it on your FB if you like. 🥰
