    Heather,
      Mason stains are powdered pigment. I get them from my local clay
    shop. To be honest, I learned this trick from another art teacher I
    worked with, who had been a ceramics major in college. We just get the
    stains in 1/4 lb or 1/2 lb bags. Mix about 2-3 Tblsp. with 2 cups of
    clear glaze, in the blender. You'll have to experiment with amounts,
    blues/greens take less, yellows/oranges take more. There aren't any
    real reds, just a crimson/pink. Be sure to wear a mask when mixing, as
    the powders are really fine. I do this when there are no kids around.
    Then just glaze to the temp of the clear glaze (06 in my case, I use
    Mayco food safe clear glaze).
