 The term "ceramics", derived from the ancient Greek "Kéramos", refers to a wide variety of products obtained by modelling clay and other earths then firing them and, often, coating and decorating them.
The resulting products may be grouped according to the techniques and materials used: terracotta, earthenware, majolica, stoneware and porcelain.
Not all these materials can be fired again to permit the renowned technique of decoration over the enamel, so other methods and types of colour have been developed over time to permit this type of decoration to be applied cold, without firing.
Idea cold ceramic colours allow professional and amateur artists and decorators to make beautiful decorated ceramics without complicated techniques and costly professional kilns.
All the colours in the range are supplied ready-to-use and are fluid, easy to use and brush on. The 18 bright, glossy colours dry quickly, may be mixed freely with one another, and may be used on glass, plastic, and metal as well as ceramic and porcelain.
Thinner is available for cleaning brushes, as well as a colourless varnish which has two functions: it may be applied before painting to even out an overly porous surface or applied in an even coat all over the object to fix the painting when dry.
The product is intended exclusively for decorative use and is not recommended for use on dishes and other items for use with foodstuffs. |
