* Ceramics Insider Tip - Sealing Stilt Marks

After sanding off the stilt mark left by glaze firing, I use a really glossy nail polish called diamond glaze to cover and seal the mark. Just put a generous dot on the mark to cover it nicely and seal the stilt mark. Allow plenty of time for the nail polish to dry before handling.

* New Product - Rinse Well - Great Gift Idea!

Are you tired of running to the kitchen sink for fresh water for your brushes? We have the answer! The Fresh Water Rinse Well is a handy way to have clean water to rinse your brushes in while painting. When the water in the brush cleaning well becomes too dirty to use simply push the button and it drains into the holding tank. Then, the Rinse Well automatically refills with clean water so you can continue to paint without getting out of your chair.

The Rinse Well holds 20 oz of clean water in the top reservoir and in the bottom holding tank. We have used this product all day without having to refill or empty it. The Rinse Well is stable, too. The nice size of the bottom holding tank makes it nearly impossible to tip over. We feel very proud to offer this wonderful new product and we're sure you'll love it as much as we do.

Visit Creative Glazes to see a demonstration of the new Fresh Water Rinse Well. This is a fantastic product that can be used for watercolors, acrylic paints, fired underglazes, glazes and more. Any water based (water clean-up) hobby paint can be used in the Rinse Well. The Rinse Well is a great gift for any artist and it's so affordable that you'll be able to get one for yourself, too!

* New Crystalite Colors -

Mayco says, "Feast your eyes on five fabulous new Crystalite colors. Who knew you could get such dramatic effects in a non-toxic product? Crystalites are easy to use and produce beautiful and unique results as the crystals melt and move during the firing, allowing the colors to burst and bloom. Great for schools, institutions or anyone who prefers a non-toxic glaze."

The new colors are:S2719 Cranberry Burst, S2720 Orange Fizz, S2721 Stars & Specks, S2722 Blue Chip and S2723 Grape Devine.

New Crystalites are now available at teh bottom of this page:
