DescriptionThis text presents a guide to painting ceramic surfaces. It shows how to decorate china at home, without the use of a kiln, using specialist paints commercially available. The finished product may be purely decorative, using cold-set ceramic paints, or durable with porcelain paint hardened in a domestic oven. Ten projects display the versatility of the craft, and show readers how to paint on plates, mugs, a toast holder, egg cups, teapots, coasters and tiles. The projects also guide the reader through different effects such as sponging, dragging and finger-painting. The clear, step-by-step instructions are accompanied by photographs and illustrations, and practical applications include French-style tiles, Mediterranean bowls, a cruet set and notice boards.
