Paint your own pottery: How a ceramic painting workshop works

When you paint your own pottery, you start by choosing a blank, for example a mug, a plate or a vase. Then you paint your design with ceramic paints, freehand, with a brush or with a stencil. If you want to paint ceramics without buying your own supplies, a studio is a good fit: paints, brushes and templates are usually provided. Afterwards your piece is fired so the colors last. What's included in the price is listed in the respective event description.

Porcelain painting: What's different?

Porcelain painting works much like painting ceramics. Porcelain paint pens and kiln-fired paints are used, among other materials, and are fired after painting. How dishwasher-safe your piece ends up depends on the material used. If you want to paint your own porcelain, a workshop is a good way to start; which materials are provided is listed in the respective event description. Not every studio offers porcelain, so it's worth checking the event description.

Pottery painting workshop: What you can learn

In a pottery painting class, you'll learn to work confidently with underglaze colors, porcelain paint pens and kiln-fired paints – the material you choose decides whether your finished piece ends up dishwasher-safe. Instructors show you stencil techniques for precise patterns and the right primer for earthenware and stoneware before the final glaze is applied. In just a few steps, a plain ceramic blank becomes a one-of-a-kind piece.
