ladyinblack1964 Posted October 27, 2021 Report Share Posted October 27, 2021 Hello, everyone: I am very happy to report that the studio where I've been taking a class was able to fire my pieces way before the quoted Nov. 19 pick up date. I'm attaching a photo (not mine; I will take more later). EDIT: After a closer look, I discovered that they were NOT unglazed. I used washes on those pieces. The teacher did say it would have a matte finish. Could I have put a clear glaze on top of the wash? Can I do anything else, such as an acrylic sealer/varnish, at home? I really don't like the way they feel in my hand. Very rough! And, is there somewhere I can read up on washes? Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neilestrick Posted October 27, 2021 Report Share Posted October 27, 2021 Acrylic paints stick best to porous surfaces, so if those are vitrified stoneware then it probably wouldn't work very well. If it's low fire clay that still porous it should stick well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnnyK Posted October 27, 2021 Report Share Posted October 27, 2021 I would give the acrylics a try on one or two pieces. You've got nothing to lose, and if you don't like them, you can always strip the paint off... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Min Posted October 27, 2021 Report Share Posted October 27, 2021 There is also this product which can be used on glass or fired ceramics. Comes in lots of colours but it is a fair bit more expensive than acrylic paint. https://en.pebeo.com/catalogue/famille/p150-colours/024-043 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They look intriguing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
