Oxides are another way to decorate your ceramics. They have a finish all of their own but can also be layered with underglazes, stains and glazes to make a huge variety of finishes. I love oxides with their versatility. They have a range of colours and can be applied directly in different ways to give different effects as well as being used under and over glaze or in slips to add colour. This video is a run down of how I use them in the studio.
