Ceramics West Club members recently used Magic Metallic paint to make bisque ceramic pieces look like gold, copper and bronze. The paint contains tiny pieces of metal, and when sprayed with patina the metal oxidizes. This gave the pieces the appearance of natural aging.
The metallic paint and patina were used to highlight areas of the ceramics pieces. The patina works differently with each of the metallic paints. The more patina is used, the more turquoise color the oxidation becomes. A sealer was applied to stop the oxidation and protect the surface of the pieces.
This class was taught March 15 by Karen Devers.
The Ceramics West Club is located at the R.H. Johnson Recreation Center next to Member Services. It is open 8 a.m.-4 p.m. Monday-Friday and 8 a.m.-noon Saturday. Membership is open to all residents of Sun City West.
