    POT PAINTING TECHNIQUES


    WHAT IS POT PAINTING AND WHAT ARE THE TECHINQUES?
    Pot painting refers to the decorative process of applying color to pottery or ceramic objects. It
    is a creative way to add visual interest and personalization to plain or glazed pottery pieces.
    Pot painting allows artists and hobbyists to showcase their creativity through various
    techniques and styles. The process typically involves using different types of paints, such as
    glazes, underglazes, or acrylics, to adorn the surface of the pottery. Pot painting is a creative
    and enjoyable way to add color and personality to your pottery pieces.

    TECHNIQUES
    BRUSHING TECHNIQUE
    Use brushes of various sizes to apply glazes or underglazes directly onto the pottery surface.
    This allows for controlled strokes and detailed designs.

    DIPPING TECHNIQUE
    Submerge the entire pottery piece or part of it into a container of glaze to achieve a smooth
    and even coating. This is a quick and effective method for covering large surfaces.

    SPONGING TECHNIQUE
    Use a sponge into the glaze or paint and then apply it to the pottery surface. This technique
    creates a textured and organic appearance.
    SPRAYING TECHNIQUE
    Use an airbrush or spray bottle to apply glazes evenly over the pottery. This technique can
    create a smooth and gradient effect.

    SGRAFFITO TECHNIQUE
    Apply a layer of glaze to the pottery, and then, while it's still wet, use a tool to scratch or carve
    away parts of the glaze to reveal the clay beneath. This creates intricate patterns and designs.
    WAX RESIST TECHNIQUE
    Apply wax to specific areas of the pottery before glazing. The wax acts as a resist, preventing
    the glaze from adhering to those areas. After firing, the waxed areas will remain unglazed.
    TAPEING TECHNIQUE
    Apply painter's tape to create geometric shapes or lines on the pottery surface. Paint over the
    exposed areas with glaze, and once dry, remove the tape to reveal crisp, clean lines.

    MARBLING TECHNIQUE
    Swirl different colored glazes together on the pottery surface to create a marbled effect. This
    can be achieved by brushing, dipping, or sponging.

    LAYERING TECHNIQUE
    Apply multiple layers of glazes or underglazes to create depth and complexity. Experiment
    with layering different colors to achieve unique effects. Before painting, make sure your
    pottery piece is bisque-fired and free of any dust or contaminants. Also, consider
    experimenting with different combinations of techniques to discover your unique style.
