TIPS AND TECHNIQUES - FROM THE WORLD OF PROFESSIONAL CERAMISTS

As you can see in the collages - they don't look primitive!
These techniques allow you to paint ceramics even before the first firing and create a maximum reveal of the author's individuality.

We use glazes as an addition for shine and as a practical necessity if we're making dishes.
