New craft for 2008 - Paint your own pottery.
Plates, bowls, vases, mugs and more - imagine being able to use a piece of china that you have created yourself in just a couple of hours! Its very easy to do, and you will be delighted with the results. You will be taken through every simple step of the process, and then you can let your imagination run free!
This absorbing craft can be enjoyed by all ages. We provide you with a couple of pieces of plain white bisque-fired ware, and you indulge your creative talents with special paints. The piece will then be clear glazed and fired for you in time for you to take your unique creations home. Children will love eating from a bowl with their very own design, and you might make a very special gift for a friend.
Even if you do not think you are ‘artistic’, we can help you produce a delightful piece of ceramic pottery. We have lots of books of designs and motifs, and you can even trace something if you like! Or bring your design with you, if you wish. Pencil marks on the ware simply burn away in the kiln, leaving you with a vibrant, colourful design.
This craft is especially suitable for families, and also for ‘hen’ parties. Every person in the party could paint a piece of pottery, and the bride could end up with a set of plates or mugs, each painted by a special friend! Each guest can paint one for herself, and one for the bride.
