Painting Ceramics - A Dying Art

The art of ceramics is nearly a thing of the past. The art is sadly dying and the beauty of the ceramics and figures are fading from more and more homes and basement hobby shops. However, there are still a few including myself, who refuse to let the art of ceramics; and painting these beautiful pieces of art die and fade away.

Fagor Pressure Cooker

A friend of mine has a ceramics shop and I do mean a ceramics shop she has every ceramic mold you can imagine. She can create the most beautiful pieces of art out of a gallon of gray liquid called slip I have ever seen. She pours the slip into the mold and within a few hours, she removes the mold and unveils a figure. Then she lets the figure sit and dry then she takes that figure and the many others she has poured and bakes them in a specially made ceramic oven or kiln. Then when the items bake and cool she and I begin to bring the figures to life in color.

She began teaching me how to paint the figures two years ago; I was, hooked. Once I realized I could take some acrylic paints and bring a plain statue of a cougar standing on a rock mountain side to a life like picture of a real cougar standing on a rock mountain side it was truly amazing. Once I finished with the cougar, my husband then decided he loved the cougar and now the cougar is a part of the decor of our living room.

You can do so many things with each one of these pieces. Each piece takes on a new character and a sense of life like resemblances in the animal and the human figures it is hard to believe that I could actually accomplish this. Never thinking I had any talent as a painter therefore, I give all the credit to my friend who is teaching me to paint the ceramics.

Painting ceramics is therapeutic, it is calming to the nerves, and painting ceramics is a great way to get together with your friends and have coffee and catch up with each other on current family events.

The acrylic paints come in every color imaginable and can be, purchased at the local hobby shops or even at the local shopping centers.

There are pearl colors and metallic colors that bring things a completely new texture in painting.

There are too many ceramic molds to list here as well as too many makers of these, such molds, but just to give you some ideals of some of the pieces that you can display; in your home and add, as conversation pieces of art are things like. A twelve-inch statue of either a Pegasus, or a horse this mold makes both pieces. There are statues of Indian maidens, full size life like owls and eagles, there are the old water pitcher and basins. There are many types of dishes and mugs and cups. There are also all kinds of Christmas ornaments, and even ceramic Christmas trees.

Take up a new hobby and do not let these beautiful pieces of art fade away learn about painting ceramics today.
