Painting ceramics - the finished product!

A few weeks ago we painted ceramics (see original blog posting HERE). As you could see from the picture in the original post the raw painted product, before being fired in the kiln, is quite a matte finish and very pale in colour.

Here's the finished product (Chantelle's owl jar, and my cat bowl)...

As you can see after being fired the pieces come out much richer and glossier.

If you tried painting ceramics before, give it a try...it's actually a lot of fun (and quite relaxing).
