Painting ceramics

The weekend in Vancouver was pretty wet and dreary, so yesterday we decided to stick indoors and paint some ceramics in Kits...

My cat bowl on the left, and Chantelle's owl cookie jar on the right.

Years ago we used to paint ceramics at a studio overlooking the beautiful beach at English Bay, but they ended up closing. Since then we haven't done any ceramic painting so it was fun to give it another go.

The photo shows the raw, un-glazed product. At this point they are technically still considered "clay". After getting fired in a kiln they will come out glossy, much richer in colour, and will then be considered as "ceramics". They should be finished in a week or so, and I'll post pictures of the finished product then, so stay tuned!
