You Can Paint on Porcelain

It's not as tricky as it sounds.



Mug Painted in Iceland

 We can paint on porcelain, crockery, terra-cotta, metals,

ceramics, glass, and more!

Find your design,

be inspired with anything from embroidery patterns to tattoos.

You can play with it a bit

or, for gift-giving, keep it just as you found it.

Your local craft and/or art store will sell

Porcelain paint.



Plate Painted in Japan



(Pebeo is easy to find, and it comes in many colors

and applications, like markers, tubes, and jars.)

for 30 minutes.

It is now as permanant as baked enamel!



Kid's mug

as well as the top rack of your dishwasher.

If you decide to use a brush, it's recommended that you use

 With supervision this is a good project to do with the kids,

a great opportunity to teach them about giving, creating, resourcefulness and self-sufficiency.
