* Ceramics Insider Tip ~ Get the kids involved!

Summer is the perfect time to get your kids involved in ceramics. Rather than listen to them whine 'There's nothing to do!' let your children paint and create to their heart's content.

Kids are innovative and imaginative. Squirt small blobs of several Concepts colors onto a glazed tile or palette and let them paint their very own bisque dishes, cups, bowls, etc. Start the kids out with some basic instructions and their own brushes, then let them go. Once they get the hang of it, you can show them how to use stencils or stamps, how to make dots with their brush handles, and spatter with a toothbrush. Above all let them paint what they want and use colors they choose, even if doesn't seem right to you. This is all about inspiring them to paint and express themselves.

Later all you have to do is dip their fabulous creations in clear glaze, stilt and fire..

Or, for kids who need instant gratification, use non-fired paints on bisque bugs, piggy banks, statues, etc. What a great way to get kids started in the wonderful world of ceramics! And, what a fabulous gift you can give by allowing your child to create something lasting of his or her very own.
