A carefully made, hand-glazed ceramic painter’s palette offers a smooth, non-porous surface on which paint comes to life beautifully. Unlike plastic or wood, ceramic does not absorb pigment residue, is easy to clean, and feels sturdy and stable in the hand or on the table. Furthermore, the weight of ceramic lends an almost meditative calm to the painting process. Whether you work with watercolour, gouache or ink … a ceramic palette encourages precision and focus. Thanks to its aesthetic appeal, it remain on display after use as an object that is art in itself.
