Editorial Review:
Product Description:
It’s easier than you think to transform inexpensive ceramic jugs or other stone containers into true works of art or turn thrift store plates into dinnerware worthy of the swankiest café. The professional advice starts with choosing equipment and stenciling the designs, followed by more than 100 color photographs showing proper use of flat, round, and liner brushes to create a range of effects. There are great project ideas and patterns for every month of the year. Try the graceful lines and striking colors of the “Lilies for May,” which uses acrylic paints in a “floating” technique to bring life to a drab bud vase. Or December’s “Holly” design, which artfully blends accent colors to turn ordinary serving pieces into the extraordinary.

Her paintings and ideas in the book are very nice.

The disadvantage of acrylics is that they are not recommended for eating surfaces, which Hauser acknowledges. In my mind, that makes them inappropriate for dinnerware. True china paints, fired in a kiln, are much more appropriate for this purpose. Her designs and painting techniques ... Read More

- The Complete Guide to Painting Porcelain & CeramicAlthough I haven't had an opportunity to do the painting, I do see the instructions that I needed to do my projects. I needed the instructions on how to do the painting and this book has what I needed.
