<p>This text presents a guide to painting ceramic surfaces. It shows how to decorate china at home, without the use of a kiln, using specialist paints commercially available. The finished product may be purely decorative, using cold-set ceramic paints, or durable with porcelain paint hardened in a domestic oven. Ten projects display the versatility of the craft, and show readers how to paint on plates, mugs, a toast holder, egg cups, teapots, coasters and tiles. The projects also guide the reader through different effects such as sponging, dragging and finger-painting. The clear, step-by-step instructions are accompanied by photographs and illustrations, and practical applications include French-style tiles, Mediterranean bowls, a cruet set and notice boards.</p>

Ten original and easy-to-follow projects, all specially commissioned, show a range of ideas that, when finished, will look equally at home in a country cottage or city flat. Readers are encouraged explore glass painting using old recycled glass containers, from old jam-jars to goblets bought at car boot sales. Bright modern colours have been used on glass, mirrors and even transparent plastics. Practical applications include jewelled goblets, fun kitchen jars in bright primary colours and a pretty vase in the style of Clarice Cliff. For outdoor entertaining, a jug and glasses are painted with butterflies in light, summer colours.
