Hi, recently, I attended pottery course. With some leftover stoneware, I made a few mini vases. Troublesome to bring back for firing. Okay to not fire it but just paint it with acrylic paint after they dry up? What vanish can I use to prevent staining on the display shelves after putting the vase there for some time. I have used normal oil vanish on paper clay before and the base will stain the display shelf. I would like the base to be painted though people advised me to leave it unglazed. Can anyone help? tks:)

if you insist on keeping them unfired do yourself a favor completely dip them in a latex paint to seal them first then paint them and then skip the varnish use spray on acrylic matte finish and give it about three light coats with 20 minutes to a half hour in between but wait at least a day for them to dry after you dip and paint them that way they will be sealed and harden a bit more and the exterior will not yellow. good luck

that is only a matter of personal determination. you may do something in acrylics that you may do with watercolors, and a number of the belongings you may do with oil portray. the only real income to grease portray is that you'll make thinner and thinner colours of a shade to operate a semi-clear result to a painted merchandise. In acrylics this can't be performed, as a thinner acrylic gained't adhere to a thicker acrylic below it. cleansing up with maximum oil paints calls for very poisonous chemical compounds. although there are literally soy depending oil paints which will properly be wiped clean up with cleansing soap and water. have relaxing portray!
