- In this video, I'll show you how to create a ceramic paint palette. It is made via slab building, and is for watercolor and gouache paints. This method can be used for acrylics or oils, but you'll want to make the wells larger.
*Please note: Ceramic clay is very different from polymer clay and air dry clay. It requires glaze and a kiln

I’ve watched quite a few clay videos lately as I’m just starting out and beginning with air dry clay to get a feel for things, but I learned so many great tips from your video that I hadn’t seen elsewhere! Great tutorial
I'm glad it's helpful! (: From the few air dry clays I've tried, the Crayola one is the most similar to ceramic clay. Tina Le has wonderful videos on air dry clay as well: www.youtube.com/@tinalemac
Love your explanation. Thank you.
I'm glad the video was helpful!
really pretty! great job!!
Thank you! (:
Hi; Great video! I'm so happy to find you. I've been trying to make palettes and they're not exactly turning out well. You mentioned (below) that there are different ways to make a foot. I wonder how I might most easily accomplish a foot. Would slipping and scoring a foot and a small center piece work? The carving part seems to be pretty difficult for me. Maybe because I started carving right after I rolled it out. Thank you 🙂
So after you roll out the slab and cut out your palette, you want to let it dry a bit. The rule of thumb is generally to carve when the clay is leather-hard. It's not too wet, but also not too dry either.
You could definitely slip and score attachments to make a foot. Personally, I don't do that very often because sometimes it cracks when I do it. There are all kinds of ways people make feet by either carving clay off or attaching more on. I think you could find some interesting ideas by looking at mugs or bowls on Pinterest.
@@calieandco thank you 😊
Beautiful job! What happens if you don't take out any clay from the back? Won't the palette be stronger and less risk of going through the back if it's not thinned out?
Great question! The clay will warp at different points of the process, even when it is fired in the kiln. If you kept the bottom flat, it is more likely to warp in a way that wouldn't allow it to sit flat when completed.
There are different ways to counteract this in terms of how the bottom is crafted. Removing clay like this is just one of them.
@@calieandco I am so new with pottery, thank you so much!
@@lornaparong9 I’m happy to help! (:
Thank you so much for your lucid explanation. Please let me know if you would like to sell your palette. God Bless from Montreal.
I'm glad you liked the video! I have 2 that I glazed, and the coating is uneven. I'm thinking of making more though!
My instructor smacked my hand when using the rounded edge of the rib to compress the clay.. she said only the straight edge...hmmm
I wasn't aware it mattered. I've made quite a few things this way and haven't had any issues. I'll have to look into this. Thank you!
