"Now I'm going to give a brief about coloring glazing. For color normally we use our off white and for glazing we use fricc, iron fricc and some other materials also with oxide. This is a bowl with 2 colors, see this greenish effect what we got from copper oxide and magnetite. Inside we got from tin oxide, titanium oxide and copper oxide. What we have done first is sprayed the outer color here and inside color we also have given the effect with spray and out of spraying we dip the bowl up to this in this color the inside color and it has given effect like a border. For white color we use tin oxide and for green color we normally use copper oxide and for black effect we use magnetite and for red we use fricc oxide. When you use magnetite it leaves some more glossy effect. See this design is with transparent glaze and china glaze and it has given a shiny effect but not color. So that way we can make so many types of designs and so many experiments in colors, thank you."
