I've a couple of questions: do you want to glaze this pot? DO you
want the color in the glaze, or do you envision it under a clear ( or
translucent) or over it? What ^ will you fire to, as some B-mix goes
to 5 and some to 10....
You can put a mason stain into your glaze, or make a water/stain
mixture and brush or sponge or spray it on. You should use, I think,
at least 3-5% so it doesn't disappear.
