The process of pottery painting starts with a plain ‘bisque’, a piece of ready to paint pottery, of which there is an almost endless choice from plates, mugs and bowls to animals, trinket boxes, money boxes and much more.
When making a Spotty Pots booking, bisque can be chosen appropriate to the occasion.
The painted bisque is taken to the Spotty Pots workshop where it is dipped or painted in a high quality glaze. It is allowed to dry and then continue it’s journey into the kiln.
