If you love painted ceramics, patterns and making little gifts, this book is for you. You don't need pottery classes, or a kiln, just paint shop bought ceramics then bake them in a domestic oven. Editor Anne had great fun with her grand-daughter decorating bowls, mugs and a necklace. Grab a few brushes, some ceramic paints and off you go!
Design your own bespoke ceramics with the help of Painting on Pottery by Tania Zaoui. There's tips on how to use basic ceramic paints, crockery and your own oven to create beautiful pieces with infinite possibilities. The inspiring projects will have you salvaging mis-matching plates, bowls and mugs to give them a new lease of life.
For anyone who likes ceramics but doesn't have a kiln this is a super handy book. Instructions are clear and well explained with colour photographs on every page. I particularly like the small bowls and mosaic-effect tiles but I am not a fan of the wall decoration. Everything is achievable and 22 is a lot of possible projects.
Great book. Loads of ideas with very clear instructions and helpful photos! Very much recommended
Loved the book. Very informative and easy to use. Inspired me to have a go. Nice bright pictures. Items shown seem manageable which will give confidence in achieving a finished item.
This book was very inspiring in decorating pottery pieces. I found the techniques in the book transferable to other forms of art such as textile printing. I do feel that this book is suited well to younger audiences or those new to the art of pottery.
This is a lovely colourful book with detailed instruction for all youll need to attempt 22 different pottery painting projects. I really like the layout, its been well thought out. The book begins with basic techniques so you are able to establish what equipment you will need and safety measures youll need to be aware of. These basic instructions are easy follow and well laid out. I particularly like the colour sample list so you can see what each paint colour turns out after baking. This is followed by basic techniques for applying paints and how to get various effects using different engraving or scratching techniques.
Once youve absorbed this information the book is then divided into a series of projects which are well laid out rather like a recipe book, lovely pictures, a list of what equipment youll require followed by easy to follow instruction. You can take any piece of plain pottery and transform it into a modern masterpiece of your own design. The projects are varied and would appeal to a wide range of people across all age groups and either sex. Highly recommended.
This is a lovely, glossy, well-photographed book. Full of basic instructions on how to paint ceramics. All in all though, colourful and informative.
