Pot Painting

My next class during the summer workshop was on pot painting, something simple but very pretty!!!

The materials required are:-

An earthen pot

Fabric colours

Glass colours

Glitters

Brush

A piece of cloth.

We first start by painting the base colour of the pot in any shade.preferably white or black. My students mostly did it in white so they would have a choice of variety of colours to add on to it. At first paint the entire pot including the inside portion ( to where it can be seen) with white fabric colours using a thick paint brush and let it dry for some time.

The most easy design is to pour glass colours onto the pot and let it flow down naturally on its own. We started from top of the pot where we poured four drops of glass colors in equal quantity and let it flow down. Let it dry. Now take the glitters and put different coloured lines in between the glass colours. You can also give glitter borders. Be Creative!!!

The same pattern could be followed for the outside of the pot. You can start pouring four drops of different shades of glass colours and let them flow down on their own. Let them dry and then glitters could be used to draw line in between the glass colours and on the neck of the pot some chain pattern could be done with golden glitters and put a pink glitter drop in between each loop of the chain.

Here are a few pictures of such designs done by my students. In pots with black coloured base use more of glitters then paint. Let your creativity flow and keep checking my forthcoming posts for more crafty ideas!!!
