Painting

The talented illustrator or painter can also use a clay object as a canvas.

You can put the most beautiful and detailed drawings on it. Traditional ‘Delftware’ ceramics are known for their beautiful blue paintings.

If like a more modern look, you can choose geometric figures and patterns. Or you can combine drawings with geometric shapes or a line pattern. So many options…

Of course, don’t forget to draw or paint with ceramic pigments, otherwise you are putting so much effort into something that just fires away in the kiln….
