Same-day take-home or kiln-fired glaze?

Both are fun — the right one depends on what you're painting and when you're heading home.

Acrylic painting tips

Base coats first

Lay down large areas of color, let them dry, then add details and patterns on top.

Two thin coats

Two thin coats look smoother and brighter than one thick coat.

Easy cleanup

Water-based paint rinses from brushes with water while still wet.

Acrylic vs. fired glaze: which should you pick?

Choose acrylic when…

You want to take your piece home the same day, it's decorative (figurines, ornaments, wall art), or you're traveling and can't come back for pickup. Acrylic is not food-safe, so skip it on mugs and plates.

Choose fired glaze when…

You're painting something you'll eat or drink from, or want a glossy, permanent finish. Browse the fired color palette or see how firing works.

Acrylic FAQ

Can I eat or drink from an acrylic-painted piece?

No. Acrylics are for decorative pieces like figurines, ornaments, banks and trays. For mugs, plates and bowls you'll use, choose our kiln-fired glaze.

How fast does acrylic paint dry?

Thin coats are usually dry to the touch within the hour, so your piece can go home the same day.

Can I pack it in my suitcase?

Yes. Once dry, wrap it in a towel or bubble wrap — no kiln wait, so it's great for visitors from out of town.

Do I return the paint or brushes?

No. With acrylic Paint-At-Home kits there's nothing to return — enjoy your piece as soon as it's dry.
