Hello I just love your work. That is so pretty. Can you tell me about it. Are these glazes you use and is it on Porcelain. Also after you paint it do you have to fire it? Thank you, Diane
Hi. I have a set of heirloom ceramic plates. I researched about painting already glazed ceramics. A lot of articles suggest that I should sand out the glaze before painting so that the paint would stick. My problem is, there's no nearby pottery studio to ask for re-glazing the ceramic plates. Is there any kind of paint that is ok to use for already glazed ceramics?
A painting teacher once taught me- if you are right handed put most of your painting materials to your right- especially your paint and water. You will save wear and tear on your shoulder and save yourself from that occasional drop of water or paint in a place you had not intended it. Sometimes it takes a while to form the habit, our bodies hold up longer so we can paint longer!
SO BEAUTIFUL!!! it animates me to practice painting again :-D at what temperature you fire? do you sell these colours? or where can I get them otherwise from?
It was painted and then glazed and fired to make it food safe. Notice that the colours at the end of the video become more vibrant after it is glazed and fired.
I put your name into RU-vid to watch any other videos that you have, which none seemed to appear. I am totally fascinated with your work! Do you have any other videos I can watch of yours? You are fantastic! I'm very interested learning how to paint like this on bisque greenware.
Thank you! We are a very busy paint your own pottery studio and we also do pottery from scratch either hand building or on the wheel. There will be more videos. The painter on this video is Ruzena and we will do more videos with her in the future for sure. She's amazing! The clay used on this video is Earthenware and picked from the shelf to paint.
If you mess up during painting you can just wipe it off. For dark colours that have dried you can sand it. We use Mayco glazes that need firing in a kiln afterwards.
The plate is earthenware and it was not glazed. She painted with glazes and then it was glazed completely after with a transparent glaze. The final result after it was fired is in the last few seconds of the video where it is shiny and food safe.
We used Mayco coloured Glazes! After glazing the plate was fired in a kiln. If you paint a plate with acrylic it will only be used for decorative purpose. It will not be functional. The plate in the video is functional.
I just paid it on to white ceramic plates by request and I used ceramic coat by Delta. It looks like it’s going to stay on there but it’s easily scratched back off so I sprayed it with a clear Acrylic glaze. I hope that works
Yes. They are created with Mayco glazes and are non-toxic and completely safe, just like the mugs and plates bought in shops. You do however need a kiln to fire the pieces after painting.
The technique is just fabulous, but the design is boring, adding those dots around made it even worse in my opinion. I would have like five flowers in different stages of their development during a roses life cycle......... But then again, this could be a 'traditional' pattern somewhere..........
