I was thinking of mixing this with water and using as a wash?

It may not stick to the pot that well you would be best adding a low temperature flux like borax frit or underglaze flux to help is melt between 15-25% will help if to stick to the vessel once fired.

Hi! Recently I purchased the mason color and mixed into Scarva Earthstone ES5 Original White Stoneware Clay but the color of clay is quite dark I can’t see any difference. Is there any recommendation which clay is the best to use for coloring clay?
Thank you. :)

Hi, it's quite common not to notice a huge difference in the colour of stained clay body until you've fired it - I'd suggest firing a test tile of your stained body to know what it will look like. Hope this helps!

Our range of Mason colours with over 60 ceramic stains can be used in a wide variety of cost-effective applications. All stains in this revolutionary new colour system contain NO LEAD and can be used as glaze stains or underglaze colours when mixed with a suitable flux, both of which produce strong, vivid colours. See reference notes and Guide to Colour Chart for technical information and suggested percentages of stains. The amount required and the final colour will be dependent upon the glaze or body used and firing temperature. To avoid speckling, thorough mixing and sieving is required.
