Book Description

Series: Crafts Made Easy | Publication Date: June 1999

This text presents a guide to painting ceramic surfaces. It shows how to decorate china at home, without the use of a kiln, using specialist paints commercially available. The finished product may be purely decorative, using cold-set ceramic paints, or durable with porcelain paint hardened in a domestic oven. Ten projects display the versatility of the craft, and show readers how to paint on plates, mugs, a toast holder, egg cups, teapots, coasters and tiles. The projects also guide the reader through different effects such as sponging, dragging and finger-painting. The clear, step-by-step instructions are accompanied by photographs and illustrations, and practical applications include French-style tiles, Mediterranean bowls, a cruet set and notice boards.

This review is from: Ceramic Painting Made Easy (Crafts Made Easy) (Hardcover)

I am now a full-fledged ceramics nerd. Many ceramics shops have been springing up in my area and I am now a regular at one. There is nothing better than turning a blank piece of pottery into an originally painted gift or keepsake. This book shows easy-to-do designs and techniques. A must-have for any other ceramics maniacs out there.
