Welcome To Ceramic Emporium’s Newsletter

Studio & Fountain Garden

 Welcome to the Ceramic Emporium Newsletter! Follow us on Facebook and Twitter or this blog for ceramic bisque sales coming to our Etsy Store, Amazon Store, and Haldago Bay. (Glazed pieces.) The main site is the Ceramic Emporium site but we are stocking the other venues first. 

As online orders expanded substantially the past several years, we simply can’t pack online orders and assist studio patrons so the studio has been closed. Sales continue to be brisk as we add all the studio merchandise- and Moonlight Madness events are coming soon. (Probably early Feb. 2012) Use the menu AT THE TOP OF THE PAGE for featured items, sale dates, and more!

Check out the AMAZON SALES tab up in the menu- sales ongoing right now for a limited time!

Do A Handprint Plate-Acrylics Work Fine!

Do A Handprint Plate

Parents enjoy making dinnerware with their children’s handprint or footprint- that is, if the child will let go of the brush! Paisley decided she really liked the brush and after we wrestled it away, decided NOT to uncurl her fingers. After carefully prying each one out, we got a perfect print! Although this was done in the studio, you CAN do a handprint plate using acrylics. NO, it’s not food safe, but place it on a plate stand after applying a light coat of satin/matte/gloss finish, and what a gorgeous display piece! (Most parents use it for that anyway, and NOT for dining.)

Achieve the look on the rim which was an exotic glaze by using the tip of your pinky finger and making small irregular blobs, then use a toothbrush and splatter over it with three different colors.

The First Handprint

You may also want to check and see if local individuals are available to fire items for you. Studios may not do that but will know of folks who do. However, again- you can do handprint plates with acrylics for decor and NO FIRING IS NEEDED. Have fun- You only get one try with the handprint as you can’t do three coats!

Extra Large Dragon

Extra Large Sitting Dragon

Fun color combination for dragons- browns and greens. Done by a studio customer using Pagoda Green exotic glaze, the Extra Large Sitting Dragon ceramic bisque has green eyes to complement the color.  This dragon is in stock off and on, we do not have this mold. If you see in the store, it is available. If not, not.

And if you really want to see a real life COOL sea dragon, check out the Leafy Sea Dragon!
