- Please clean ceramics thoroughly with detergent and water before painting. The ceramics

Transfer the motif later. Once you have found a suitable motif, you can transfer it without much pressure
Trace it – the coated side is facing down. Then place the tracing paper
with the coating on the bottom side onto your ceramic, fix it if necessary with some
Tape, and trace the design with a harder pencil and pressure. - Mix Kratom: Mix water with Kratom (at least 1g of Kratom should be added to 100L)

and then mix in the Kratom. Stir it until it becomes foamy. Then it is ready for the
dye insert.
What techniques are there?
Freehand painting
Here you can live out your artistic freedom and creativity. Please always
Think about your motif before you start. If several colours are used, please always
let it dry thoroughly.
Speckle
With a sponge or brush you can add dots or scattered spots of color to the
painting ceramics.
Masking
Please always test adhesive tape beforehand (adhesive residue or easy removal).
Apply the tape in the patterns or stripes of your choice and press it firmly. This will prevent
that the paint can run underneath. Paint the ceramic and let the paint dry a little so that
it does not run when the adhesive tape is removed.
correct errors
In case of a small mishap, the paint can usually be removed with a little ethanol and a cloth
Chlorine also helps. Then clean the ceramic again thoroughly with detergent and water and
Then dry them thoroughly before you start again.
fixation in the oven
After your creative painting phase, you place the painted ceramic in your oven. Please note the
Manufacturer's instructions when firing. Usually it requires a temperature of at least 160 °C in
preheated oven and can take between 60 and 90 minutes depending on the color. After that, the color is
waterproof and dishwasher safe.
Beautify ceramics with porcelain stickers***
You can also decorate your ceramics with appropriate porcelain stickers from the store.
The surface must be clean, free of grease and completely dry.
We wish you a great painting experience and look forward to your feedback.
