How Does It Work?

Creating your own ceramic masterpiece is so easy!
just follow the simple steps below:

Select an item to paint. We stock a large range of unfinished ceramics known as 'bisque'. Items include plates, bowls, mugs, piggy banks & childrens collectables

Clean your piece. This is done with a wet sponge to remove any dust and provides a clean surface to paint.

Think of a design. You can think of a design yourself or use our design computer for ideas. When you have thought of what you wish to paint, you can draw outlines in pencil first as any pencil marks will disappear when the item is fired in the kiln.

Paint. All paints are water based and non toxic so are suitable for all ages. We have a large range of colours to choose from and they dry very quick. For best results, apply two or three coats of paint.

Glazing. We will then glaze and fire your masterpiece in one of our kilns.

Collection. The item will then be ready for collection in a couple of days or can be posted on to you if you are only visiting york.

There is always a member of staff on hand to assist, should you need any help.
