Glass & Porcelain Markers

Glass & Porcelain Markers - Creative home decor upcycling

If you are wanting to increase your art repertoire or just have some creative fun, then painting on glass or porcelain will delight crafters of all ages. The only art supplies you need are glass and porcelain markers and some heat resistant glass & porcelain or glazed ceramic objects.

With a variety of vibrant opaque and transparent colours, glass and ceramic markers and pens are a fantastic option and such an easy medium to work with on heat-resistant smooth surfaces. Once the paint is heated and fixed in the oven, the designs are extremely wear-resistant (up to 400C) and are also dishwasher-safe.

Get creative and transform and personalise old glass bottles, wine bottles, glass ornaments, vases, jars, coffee mugs, teacups or bowls and give them a new lease of life. The flexible nibs of glass markers and porcelain pens allow you to shade and blend larger areas as well as add fine details. They are also perfect for labelling and doodling designs on glass jars or ceramic and porcelain pieces.

Tips when painting with glass and porcelain markers:

- Clean the surface properly and make sure your work area and your glass or porcelain surface are free from dust.
- Plan out your design to make sure it fits properly.
- To prevent visible brushstrokes, apply the paint in thin, smooth multiple layers.
- Let dry and cure as directed.

Whether you buy individual glass and ceramic pens - and slowly build up your colour range - or invest in a set of markers, there is no limit to the creative fun and dynamic designs at your fingertips.
