How it works

1. OH WOW!

Upon entering our studio, you might be pleasantly surprised by the fresh, vibrant atmosphere and the impressive variety of options available. Don't worry though, we've carefully organized everything into sections, and each item is individually priced, making it easy to explore and find your perfect piece.

2. Clean hands

We’ll ask you to wipe your hands with one of the provided wipes. This is just to ensure there is no food residue, sunscreen, makeup, moisturizer, etc. on your hands, as the bisque pieces are porous and any contamination can affect the final glazed.

3. Pick Me

Next, it’s up to you to choose a bisque piece that you want to paint. Bisque is low fired pottery that has been fired once in a kiln without glaze, making it porous and ready for decorating or glazing. Please be careful handling the bisque pieces while choosing as they are still a bit fragile.

4. Tips & Tricks

Once you have chosen your bisque piece our friendly team will get you seated at your table and provide you with tips and tricks to help you get the most out of your ceramic painting experience at Paint The Earth. Our team will always be close by if you have any questions or need a hand.

5. Painting Time

Then it’s up to you to let your creative juices flow and choose colours, layouts, designs, and then start painting. We have plenty of underglaze paint colours to choose from; along with all the brushes, pencils, tools, sponges, stencils, rulers, masking tape, etc. that you may need for your creativity.

6. You’re Done!

Once you are all complete with your painting, we’ll get you to pay for your items and leave them with us while we take them through the rest of the process.

7. Amazing Glazing

After your painted pieces have air dried to remove any moisture, we’ll dip them in a liquid glaze. This is a clear gloss glaze that once kiln fired brings the colours to life with brightness, and provides a long lasting and durable coating.

8. Fire It Up!

Once glazed we’ll then carefully stack your piece in one of our electric kilns, then fire it over two days to temperatures exceeding 1000°C. This is where the magic happens with the bisque, underglaze paints and clear top glaze all fusing together, which results in colourful, strong and robust ceramic pieces that can last a lifetime.

9. That’s a Wrap

Once your pieces have cooled down, we’ll unload them from the kiln and quality check for any issues. We then individual wrap them and bag your order together ready for collection. We will text you as soon they are available for pickup, then you can pop back in to the studio for the great reveal of your masterpieces.
