Painting porcelain with acrylic markers

Plain tableware doesn't have to stay boring! With a little acrylic paint and creative ideas, simple porcelain plates can be transformed into personalized, one-of-a-kind pieces in no time at all. Whether you use colorful patterns, playful motifs, flowers, or abstract shapes, painting allows you to let your imagination run wild and give your tableware an individual look.

With just a few materials, simple white or light-colored porcelain tableware becomes something very special in no time. Whether it's a plate, mug, bowl, or cup, a little paint and your own idea create personal favorite pieces that are guaranteed to be unique. Perfect for a cozy Sunday afternoon, a creative break in between, or a crafting moment with your loved ones. This gives plain tableware a whole new look and, piece by piece, it becomes a one-of-a-kind item.

You can use your hand-painted porcelain in many ways, for example as a jewelry dish, for fruit, or simply as a decorative eye-catcher. However, despite the food-safe lacquer on top, the painted tableware is generally not suitable for direct contact with food. (For instance, only paint mugs on the outside)

First, sketch your design on paper and, if necessary, on the porcelain.

Paint your design with acrylic paints. For good opacity, it is best to apply two coats.

Let the paint dry and then apply food-safe clear varnish with a brush.

Let the varnish dry for at least 24 hours & your personal one-of-a-kind piece is ready!
