Here's something that works like magic: 
Use a sponge to apply color underglaze or glaze to large areas. You get consistent results every time with no streaks or runs.  2 coats of sponging is usually enough, but some of us brush on that first coat and then put on 2 coats of spongework.  Pouf!

VARIETY CERAMICS DOES . . . PARTIES! ! !

Child or adult parties are fun with ceramics!  We provide cake & ice cream or snacks and drinks; partygoers paint acrylics on bisque and take home items or use underglazes and pick up items later.  We can also come to your home, office, church hall or other location.  Makes a great fund-raiser, too!

Pressed vs. Poured Ceramic Pieces

Pressed ceramic pieces make those perfectly round bowls and cups with little or no effort in no time at all.  How?  They use a machine, dummy!  Handcast items, conversely, require skill, care, and time to create a perfect piece. So they cost a little more. We like both.
