I occassionally take my 3 nieces to paint pottery.
It's a quiet, artistic, relaxing and fun time together.
This is something I painted recently at one of our get-togethers.
It's a trinket jar with the top part that can come off.
I just adore how it came out...
sometimes it's hard to tell till after the firing.
BTW-
If you've never painted ceramic pottery before,
I highly recommend doing it!
It is so much fun!
You will find all sorts of seasonal items to paint, too.
(Makes the nicest homemade gifts!)
And with the biggest gift-giving season
just around the corner you have enough time to do so...
Think: teachers, mail carrier, pastor, neighbor, hostess gifts, etc.
Happy Pink Saturday!

Go Buckeyes - beat Penn State tonight!

Whoo Hoo!
When my son was in grade school they took his class to a pottery shop and let them make a piece or I should say paint a piece. He chose a statue of a dog that looked like our Mandy. He painted it golden yellow just like her and I still have it to this day. That was about 30 years ago that he did it.
ReplyDeleteNEVER TRIED THAT, BUT CERTAINTLY SOUNDS LIKE FUN.
ReplyDeleteVery nice Michele, I've done ceramics with glazing and also painting it after one firing in the past.
ReplyDeleteI've never seen anything like this but it's precious and I'd love to find a class!

Michele, great job on the ceramic cupcake! Must try that one day!
ReplyDeleteStruggling to make a comment for some reason. What a great project to share with your nieces, something that I haven't tried but looks like fun. Take care
DeleteMy sister used to do this so I have quite a lot of ceramic pieces...my favorite is the Christmas tree. No, perhaps the Nativity. Your cupcake did turn out beautifully. Did your nieces also paint cupcakes?
ReplyDeleteSo cute! There is a "Crock a Doodle Pottery" near me that I've always wanted to try. It would be fun to paint my own teapot or teacup!

ReplyDeleteMichele, your pink cupcake is darling. I have a few pieces done for me by my grandson. My son used to take him when he was younger.
ReplyDeleteHappy Pink Saturday. Thanks for sharing.
So cute Michele… we did that a lot when Priscilla was little… Happy Sunday

Really adorable! We have 'As You Wish', a pottery painting shop that I also enjoy taking my grands to. So much fun! Blessings, Cindy
ReplyDeleteYour pottery is so pretty! enjoy your week!
ReplyDeleteAdorable trinket jar. Very girly. I've never painted pottery, but my daughter-in-law and granddaughters have, and said it was fun.
ReplyDeleteVery cute and girly trinket box. You did a nice job.
ReplyDeleteI love your pink cupcake, Michele! I used to paint pottery years and years ago and went to a home in Worthington to do it.
ReplyDeleteIt was fun watching the Buckeye game with my mom, and seeing all the hometown spirit!! We also went to Lynd's Fruit Farm and picked apples and went to their festival. Such fun for the two granddaughters!
Hi Michele, Love your darling pink cupcake. My mother and I both worked in ceramics many years ago and loved it. It is amazing how special a piece can be after firing. This is darling. Have a blessed day. cm
ReplyDeleteSooo cute! I used to work on ceramics years ago. It sure sounds like you all had lots of fun with beautiful results. xxx Maria
