help!!! pottery expert needed what gloss do we need to put over acrylic paint?
we are a young enterprise business which is run by are school are idea was to buy unglazed mugs paint them how we wanted and then sell them on teh only trouble we has is we do not no what to glaze them with or what to do with them after they have been painted. plz help it is an emergency
If you had been using glazes or underglazes to decorate the mugs, you wouldn’t be having an emergency now.
Well, you can’t put acrylic paint into a kiln (the paint will burn off and you’ll lose your designs), so you can’t put a tradition ceramic clear glaze on the mugs.
And an acrylic varnish won’t be food- or dishwasher-safe. So you’re kind of stuck.
I’m going to recommend that one of you make a trip to Michael’s or other art & craft store, and ask about glass paint. It is possible that there is a clear glass paint you could use as a varnish. You need to ask a salesperson if it can go over acrylic paint and still adhere well, and whether it can go into the dishwasher, or whether it must be hand-washed.
It’s also possible that you will have to sell the mugs as completely decorative items, not for drinking use. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but if this is a school-run business, your school mentors certainly failed to make sure you researched and planned this thing through properly. So a lot of people will have lessons to learn from this.
