U-PAINT-IT @ HOME
This U-Paint-It Kit allows you to underglaze paint pre-made bisqueware pieces in the comfort of your home.
The kits are $60 each and include 2 pre-made pieces of bisqueware of your choice, 11 colors of underglazes (about 1.5 oz of each), and firing fees. After you pick up your kit and paint your pieces with underglaze paints provided, bring them back to CCC so we can fire them with clear glaze. This process takes 10-14 days from the day the painted pieces are dropped off at CCC.
You may purchase extra pieces of bisqueware for $15 each. We recommend the painting kit for no more than 4-5 pieces of bisqueware, however this is dependent on how the colors are used and the size of the pieces. Need more paint? You can purchase additional underglaze paints for $2 per color.
