Glazed ceramic

Hi Cheryl. I don't know if you know anything about painted ceramics? But my question is can I paint something that's ceramic that's already been painted with glazing paint, another color in acrylic paint? Thanks Tammy Spalsbury

Glazed Ceramics
by: Cheryl

For slick surfaces, like glazed ceramics, you will need to use glass paints or enamel paints made for this purpose.

Painting on glazed ceramics
by: Lois

Just before the Christmas holidays, I was asked to paint names on 16 cups for party favors.

I debated (with myself) about what to use. I finally
settled on DecoArt Americana multi-surface Satin.
I cleaned the cups & wiped them with alcohol.
Then designed the names, so they all had the same lettering style and size. To position them on the cups at the same place; I made a template with a cut-out to fit the longest name; marked the center
of the cut-out and positioned each name on a cup.

After 4 days to cure, I put them in the oven and proceeded to "bake" them.(8 at a time)
When I removed them from the oven, the paint had become part of the glaze. Rubbing over the painted areas, I could not feel the paint. The color was bright and looked good.
The only prep that I used was to clean the cups with soap, dry and wipe down with alcohol.
It was a fun project.

Changing the colors on glazed ceramic
by: Tammy

I asked about the paint to use to change the color of the glazed ceramic. But I forgot to ask if there is anything I need to do to prepare the glazed paint before re-painting it. Tammy
