ceramic painting

Painted pottery art

Ceramic painting is the art or craft of applying decorative designs to ceramic surfaces—pottery, tiles, dishware, or figurines—using specialized paints or glazes.

The work may be fired in a kiln to set the colors permanently, or left unfired for decorative pieces.

Paint-your-own-pottery studios have made ceramic painting a popular casual activity: We took the kids ceramic painting for her birthday.
