Easter Pottery Painting

Painting pottery is a fun and relaxing activity. It can be used to spur your creativity, and is an especially nice thing to do around Easter, when spring starts arriving.

There is a technique for painting pottery. It is important first to rinse the piece of pottery you will be painting to remove any dust that has accumulated on it. It is also important to let it dry thoroughly before you paint it, but make sure it is left to air-dry instead of patting it with a towel, which can leave towel lint on the piece.

There are a number of different designs you can create that are pertinent for the upcoming Easter holiday. There are stencils that can be purchased that will allow creators to make stencil tracings of a number of different Easter patterns and scenes, from Easter bunnies to flowers to Easter eggs. Collecting enough stencils of these objects will allow you to create a very vibrant Easter scene on your pottery piece of choice. This Easter scene will look especially festive if you also plant flowers or other plants in your piece of pottery and set it outside.

It is a good idea to use paint that is specially designed for use on pottery. It is also important to use paint that can sustain outdoor temperatures, sunlight and rain. Doing so will prevent fading of the paint and will preserve your festive Easter pottery for times to come!
