Pottery Painting

Materials Required:
  • Clay Pot 
  • Paint brushes
  • Spray Sealer
  • Patio Paint 


Instructions


  • Wipe the outside of the clay pot with a paper towel prior to spraying it with sealer. If the pot is dirty, you will need to use a damp cloth to wipe the grime away. Let it dry thoroughly before spraying it with the sealer.
  • Spray the entire outside of the pot with a coat of sealer in a well ventilated area. Always spray in a direction pointing away from you. Keep the spray mist-like so there won't be runs in it when it has dried. Let the sealer dry completely.
  • Mix the paint well and pour the it onto a palette. Use a wide brush to apply the basecoat color to the pot. Let it dry and apply another coat for good coverage. Sometimes a thrid coat is necessary if using a light color. The basic pot color should not show through the paint. Make sure you allow the coats to dry before proceeding.
  • Finish the pot by spraying it again with sealer once it has dried completely. The pot will be weather resistant and a wonderful addition to your home.

Tips:
  • Try stencils to decorate your pots. 
  • Sparkle spray paint can be applied to the pot after painting it.
  • To get fine or thin lines, a small brush is best.
  • You Can add stripes to the pot. These can be achieved by applying tape to the pot. Paint over the tape using the same base color. When that is dry, apply the color of your choice over that. This way the second color won't seep underneath the tape. With the round tip of the paint brush, add dots of color to the stripes or pattern design you have chosen.
