Tsquared Posted February 17, 2020 Report Share Posted February 17, 2020 Hello, I was wondering if I could gather some information on how I could safely paint a second plate and be able to use it for food? Would be a great help and mean a great deal to me! Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rae Reich Posted February 17, 2020 Report Share Posted February 17, 2020 Take your original plate to a paint-your-own pottery place and ask if they can help. They will have access to blanks and food-safe glazes and the considerable amount of equipment and resources you will need for a single plate, which will save you time and money.

Yes, is it all possible? Sorry if this is frustrating as I know nothing about this form of art, but I'd really appreciate it. I would like the plates to be usable as well, for eating. Thanks for taking the time to respond. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for your advice, I was thinking that. If they would be open to that because I know most of them prefer to sell there own plates etc. Because my goal is to scale up.

They can teach you the basics, then you can decide how to begin production. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neilestrick Posted February 17, 2020 Report Share Posted February 17, 2020 You'll need access to a kiln. There's nothing you can just paint on and not fire that would be food safe and durable. Your best bet is to take some pottery classes so you can learn about kilns, glazes, firings, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
