i love ceramics and my Mum had quite a collection of Lladro figurines. What a lovely channel you have, i hope that we stay connected, i also love your british accent, i am such an avid fan of Jane Austen, Miss Marple and i have both read and watched their movies many times.
Thanks for the video.I'm learning... learning.. thanks. I'm new in porcelain repair. What if you don t use pigments but already finished paints. Unfortunately I already bought them. What,s the advantage of pigment use ?😮
Ty soooo much. My mom loves the truck and camper theme. Bought a beautiful ceramic piece and u have helped me. Def subscribing! I have a few pieces of hers that have broken through the years. One being Mary, Joseph and jesus 🤦♀️ I am hoping your videos will help me to restore it back 💖
Wonderful videos. I learn additional rewatching. Will you be doing a video on repairing English flow blue China? Specifically color matching the cobalt color?
It depends on what the of paint you have used and if it contains a glaze when dried. If the paint is wet a cotton bud is useful. Please let me know how you get on.
I find your tutorials amazing and so inspiring! I would be extremely grateful if you could give me some advice . I bought a Doulton Lambeth faience Vase and sadly a section of the base arrived broken. I managed to stick it all back together and applied the milliput and waiting to sand it down. After this I will need to paint over the chips and cracks. Would Windsor and Newton oil based Paint and Glaze work for this or what would be the best suggestion. I am a professional artist and the artistic side would not be a problem on my side. Thank you in advance, Kind Regards, Nicholas
Hi there, so glad you like my channel. I would only recommend using powder pigments or Winsor and Newton Professional Acrylic and glaze, or Rustins glaze.
Thank you so much for your videos. Could you please recommend some cheaper alternatives to the glaze, pigments and paints? I have a few bowls and mugs that I would like to repair but don't want to spend more on the consumables than the cost of buying replacement items! I was going to order the milliput from eBay unless you can recommend a better supplier. TIA xx
Hi Ruby, many thanks for your comment and for watching. I tend to use Winsor and Newton paints and brushes. I am in the process of a supplies website for materials, so watch this space. 😃
@@theceramicrepairstudio Thankyou for replying so quickly. I love Blue and white porcelain and just started collecting. Because it’s often discontinued and second hand it has cracks and chips. Like you I think they show a history so I like to repair these beautiful pieces. I am looking forward to this new adventure!
Hi Ali - the motifs on the Chinese ginger jar I’ve repaired looks to be onglaze decoration. I only have a small area to touch up. Would it be better to use acrylic over the Milliput then the Rustins glaze over, or glaze it first and use acrylic over (as per the original)?
Thank you so much for your tutorials! Could you tell me which Windsor & Newton glaze is best for these non-fired repair jobs? I am in the US and like you mentioned it's difficult and pricy to get the Rustins ceramic glaze here. Thank you again!
Hi Lori so pleased you are finding my channel useful. I have put an Amazon link in the description box for the Winsor and Newton glaze. Please let me know how you get on.🥰💕🍀
@@theceramicrepairstudio The link you mentioned leads to a “flow improver”. I’m assuming this isn’t the correct ceramic glaze? I found some Winsor and Newton professional acrylic glaze but I’m not sure if it’s the same as a ceramic glaze
Hi Sue, if it is for just a little detail I don't see why not. I would mix the paint with a glaze to key it on then once dry give it a final glaze over to seal. Hope this helps and please let me know how you get on.🥰
Hello, thank you very much for your videos which inspired me to start restoring the ceramics I had at home. I have a question about the ceramic glaze from Rustins. Is it safe for food? Thank you for your response :)
Great tutorial! Thanks for sharing your knowledge. I’m about to embark on repairing ceramics/porcelain/China for the 1st time in my new job and I feel I’ll be watching your tutorials often! Can you tell me what brand of glazing would you recommend and what was the brand of the pigments. Saw your comment re the acrylics brand 👍
Hi Polly, the brand of pigments i use is from Green and Stone London. I use Rustins ceramic glaze. Many thanks for watching and please know how you get on.🥰
Hello. If I paint on an airdry ceramic clay, would it look ceramic-y? Like shiny and pretty? Or do I have to use a special spray or coating for that? Thank you. I have tried polymer clay and painting on it using acrylic is not really that nice. I'm planning on trying airdry ceramic (since I do not have access to the "burning" process). Hope you notice me! 😁
You could try Acrylic and mix it with a ceramic glaze, if you want more shine add further glaze once dry, please try on a practice piece first. Hope this helps and please let me know how you get one. 😀
Hi Alison, After taking your advice, which has been interesting and an amazing learning curve, I thought I had finally nailed matching the paint on a small mustatrd coloured lid I was repairing. The colour looked right, I sanded and polished with the cloth 1200 until I thought it was ready for the Rustins final glaze. Unfortunately when it dried the yellow of the repair came out darker darker than the ceramic. Is there anything I can do to lighten it at this stage?
Hi Jean, depending on how thick you have painted you could retry painting a thin coat of paint with a little Rustins over it. Otherwise you could resand and start again. Please let me know how you get on. 💕
@@theceramicrepairstudio Almost instinctively I thought of lightly painting over leaving the Rustins as a barrier will see. I might gently sand and go over again. I could actually it at this stage but might have one last go. Thanks for your all advice and prompt replies.
CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME AS I WATCH THIS? I KEEP READING TO PAINT SAY SIMPLE BARE CERAMICS FROM LIKE MICHAELS TO USE AN ACRYLIC PAINT BUT WHEN I DO THIS IT SEEMS WAY TO THIN OR THE COVERAGE LOOKS NOTHING LIKE HOW I SEE OTHERS DO IT. DO I NEED TO PURCHASE AN ACTUAL CERAMIC PAINT? CAN ANYONE HELP? THANK YOU
Hi there I’m just starting out in painting ceramic and I’m shopping for a new paint brush set but I got confused at what set to buy cause the options they gave me a choice of Nylon, Hog & horse and I know there’s more than that so I thought naturally something Soft so I’d go with nylon but I wasn’t sure so I RUclips it 😌 that’s how I found your video so my main question is does it matter what the bristles are made of ? And if so I’m wondering what is the best bristles to use? I also want to purchase a whole set with one of each type of brush like a 1large brush, 1fan 1brush ,1detailing brush & 1sponge brush all in one at a good price between $10.00 to maybe $25.00 I’m kind of in a budget right now and I don’t need a lot of brushes right now just basically one of each for the moment plus I actually have a few brushes cause I do some painting but I’ve literally just started painting the ceramics which I used my paint brushes and tgey turned out pretty good 😌 I’m starting a little business I don’t make ceramics I paint them but I want to do things right and need all advice and recommendations I can get I always take notes as you said too 😆 but yeah if you could help me choose that be wonderful I’m buying my brushes very soon but I need to know what to buy. Hope you see my message and can answer or help 😌 thanks.
Hi Andrea, many thanks for your comment and for watching. When it comes to brushes I tend to go for sable which is soft, or a mix of nylon with sable. I would also recommend a good point on the brushes, particularly for closer work. Going to an art shop you can get good recommendations. Please let me know how you get on. 🥰
Hi and thank you for all your videos! Just a clarification. In a video you've recommended a Winsor and Newton ceramic glaze as an alternative to Rustins. Can you please tell me the exact name of the Winsor and Newton glaze or link it to me? I can't seem to find it! Thank you so much!
Hi there, if you are in the UK I would recommend Rustins. One of my subscribers has brought Rustins ceramic glaze in America through Conservation Resources. It really depends in which country you are. Please let me know how you get on?💕
@@theceramicrepairstudio Thank you for the quick answer! I'm from Italy and I can't find Rustins here, that's why I was enquiring about the Winsor and Newton product...
09:12 - There you are, entertainingly showing us how to repair and/or paint over chipped or damaged china & ceramics. With a light blue ceramic pen-holder cup in the upper right background... with a large, obvious chip out of it. Unrepaired! 🤔🤭😉🤫 Proving once again the old maxim: The cobblers' children always go barefoot! 😆😅🤣😂😆😅
Hi Charles, many thanks for you comment. I don't tend to use an airbrush with the glaze as it drys very quickly and is a nightmare to get out of the airbrush once hardened. I also find the glaze to thick to go through, you can water it down but this results in a a glaze with less shine. Hope that helps.
Hi Amanda, many thanks fir your comment and for watching, I hope you are finding them useful. I tend to use a mixture of Acrylics from Winsor and Newton professional and powder pigments. I buy my powder pigment pigments from Green and Stone in London. I have put a link on the description on the Winsor and Newton in Titanium White, you can then move around on Amazon for the other colours. If you aren't in the UK can you tell me as I realise in need to cover other countries. I hope that helps.
Hi Trudy, I use a mixture of paint and acrylic mainly by winsor and Newton. I do have a playlist on painting. One of my first videos was also on recommending materials. 😃
I use oil paint, and allow to cure for days or weeks before applying three coats, a day apart, of oil spray on glaze. It's a nice medium for blending hues, realistic skin tones, et c, and the glaze gives a jewel like finish.
I have looked on Amazon.Ca and could only find a ceramic glaze Sargent Art, which is a best seller on page one. I haven't used any other glazes so am not sure if it would go yellow in time. Also you don't want anything too thick.
Check out my latest course for beginners in the description box ❤
Thanks found the basic colour video thanks a lot.
You're welcome!
Thank you very much all your videos are helpful. They make me think of trying to do myself the restoration of my figurines. Hope I'll risk it one day.

@@theceramicrepairstudio Wonderful. I will keep watch. Thank you.
@@paulcolacicco4863 Your welcome. 🥰💕
How would you fix an error like if you accidentally painted on an area the wrong color that's supposed to stay white?
It depends on what the of paint you have used and if it contains a glaze when dried. If the paint is wet a cotton bud is useful. Please let me know how you get on.
Which paint is heat and water resistant for painting ceramics such as plates?
It tend to use powder pigments and acrylics mixed with a glaze. Although I cannot guarantee that it is heat proof, sorry. 🥰

Hi! I’m new to repairing porcelain ceramic figurines. Is it okay to paint acrylic glaze over enamel paint after the enamel cures?
Hi there, i would first just try a little practice piece. Please let me know how you get on.
Cannot find Rustins Glaze in the U.S. Alternative? please
Yes I would use Winsor and Newton Acrylic gallery found on Amazon .com.
oh, have a question- any tips on how to match the paint color to the porcelain? for example, there are many different blue colors, how do I choose?
I tend to have the basic popular colours and mix them until I have the right shade.
Is the black powder you use here from Windsor and newton and what is it called?
Sorry for the late response, i used Ivory black. I would also recommend Mars black.
I have a ceramic figurine I want to re paint. Is there any way I can remove the paint?
Hi there, it really depends on the item.
Thank you so much for your videos. Could you please recommend some cheaper alternatives to the glaze, pigments and paints? I have a few bowls and mugs that I would like to repair but don't want to spend more on the consumables than the cost of buying replacement items! I was going to order the milliput from eBay unless you can recommend a better supplier. TIA xx
I would recommend Milliput and Acylic paint, although you can use a less expensive brand. 😀
Really good video. Subscribed!... Can you recommend an alternative to sable brushes? I try and avoid animal products if possible.
Can you stove the repaired ceramic after using the rustin’s glaze?
I would look at the manufacturers instructions.
Another question, what brushes and paints do you use for porcelain repairs. Can you please provide me some links please. You do fantastic work!
