Curious about the mysteries of silkscreening on a ceramic surface? This demonstration unravels the mystery and shows you simply how easy it is to use Silkscreen Medium! You can use any glaze for earthenware bisque fired at cone 06 with the silkscreen medium. This video shows a Stroke & Coat product, but our studio uses Gare Fun Strokes. It works exactly the same. Enjoy!
Oh! What Fun it is to Have a Personalized Holiday Item
We started offering a Personalized Pumpkin many years ago. Styles have changed several times and so has our vendor. Then we added Holiday items – Penguins, Snowman Snuggles, and Let-It Snow-Man. The challenges with these items are, of course: (1) they are final sale (since it’s hard to sell a Penguin that says “Henry” to anyone who isn’t Henry, no matter how great and regal the name might be), and (2) it takes time to get them in the store.

Why we switched to Gare Paints
After using Mayco’s Stroke & Coat paints for over 15 years, we have switched to Gare Fun Stroke Paint. It’s a change we've been thinking of making, but because of our deep commitment to buying and supporting local, we have delayed this decision until our local vendor retired.
Switching paints is never easy. We have to test the paints in so many ways and ask a lot of questions:
