One can add color at the time of kneading the dough when making the cold porcelain or after making crafts. But colored clay has low shelf life. So color only the part you will put to use. Store the colored clay in air-tight container and Refrigerate. Knead the clay/dough well before you put it to use. Good kneading is the key to making no-crack clay crafts.
