Hello clayarters, I was wondering if someone on the list could give me a
website or group which would help me w/ me newest quest which is painting
on glass - i want to make wine glasses that match the plates that I make.
I have been
using acrylics and heating up the glass in the oven, but it's surely not
very durable. I need to contact a supplier as well. Thanks for any info.

I modify my overglaze (china paints) for glass. To change overglaze
paints into glass paints, I use a flux from Rynne China company.
Proportions are 2/3 china paint to 1/3 flux in powder form. When using
high gold content colors which are purples, pinks, and roses, you use
1/2 china paint and 1/2 flux in powder form. Fire at 022. This works
very well, and is a traditional means for creating beautifully decorated
Victorian glass lamps. My experience is that less expensive glass
actually responds better to this process. Go down to good-will and get
some practice pieces. Remember that yellows and reds together generally
are not compatible in china paints. Run a variety of tests, blending
colors on the brush and firing for future reference. Contact Rynne at:
info@rynnechina.com or visit their web site: www.rynnechina.com. Best
wishes with your glass projects!

Hi there,

Here's a co. from whom I have ordered Porcelaine, which is a heat-baked color
made for glass-- they are a Stained Glass Warehouse. The web address is:
www.stainedglasswarehouse.com

Hope this helps,

Karen in Sonoma

I recently had the pleasure of attending a workshop with Rimas VisGirda on
ceramic decal making. He uses the typical decal making procedure and applies
them to glass also. He fires the ceramic pieces at the same time as the
glass pieces. I believe we went to cone 018. He uses oil based China Paints
to screen the image onto the decal.
