Interesting Information

Unpainted Ceramic White Bisque can be painted in many ways, below are just a few examples of how it can be painted:-

1)    Acrylic Paint

2)   Glazed – Must be Kiln Fired to recommended temperature of instructions on pot of paint

3)   Fashenhue – is a very effective technique.   It is a creative way to produce an old antiquing effect without firing at the end

4)   Plus many more techniques!

The Process of Making Bisque We use Liquid Clay, otherwise known as “slip”.   This is poured in to moulds and left for a while until it hardens on the outside.   The excess slip is then poured out, and the slip / clay is left to harden even more.   The mould is then carefully taken apart, to reveal the shape / item.   The item in its current form is extremely fragile.   This is called “Greenware”.   From this stage, the item is fettled and cleaned with a sponge.    Once all this has been done, some people like to paint directly on to “Greenware”, but obviously this is mainly professionals, and they would collect the “Greenware” from ourselves.    The “Greenware” would then be fired to Cone 04 (1080 Degrees)

The item will have changed colour from a light brown and being extremely fragile to a white bisque ceramic item (still obviously fragile - like any china or crockery, but can be handled
