5 Methods For Painting On Pottery

Methods you can use to paint clay pottery include: UnderglazesSlipsOxide stainsGlazesAcrylic paint or fingernail polish For more acrylic-like effects, you can use liquid underglaze and work with a much heavier, “painterly” style that puts a lot more underglaze on the clay surface.

Cutting Down on Mold Growth We also recommend cleaning reclamation buckets with bleach-water once all the clay has been removed from them....
