I took a class in pottery "painting" years ago in S. California, and
the teacher of that class had us using powders (mixed with a tiny bit
of some kind of oil, if I remember correctly) for painting beautiful
misty pictures on pottery, which was then fired (I think). Recently I
looked for such powders and can't find them either in stores or even
mentioned in books.

Does anyone know what was being used, and if it's still available?
Thanks,

LynnDel,
It's called "China painting." it is fired to cone 019 to 021 (very low) on
my kiln, it only takes 3 of the 4 elements to get that high. Here's a few
links.

I'm not certain, but, if the pottery you were painting on was glazed
already, the powder may have been powdered enamels, which I have come across
recently but the product I saw was purchased many years ago so I don't know
anything about getting hold of it now. The one I was dealing with was by
Harrison Meyer and came in small cylindrical metal lidded tubular tins . In
the case of pigment enamels I understand the medium requ'd would be fat oil
of turpentine, or flat 7- Up !(Fournier 1992).
