Gift an experience + a keepsake
Made by us in NZ
This project must be fired in a kiln to make the letters ceramic
For this project you there are two options for finishing them AIR-DRY OR CERAMIC.
AIR-DRY - These are essentially dry clay with paint and sealer on top, so they are not ceramic (a glass like finish) but they are glossy and super nice.
Ceramic - These have the finish and feel of a coffee cup -must have glaze applied and fired in a professional kiln. Different colours were used for my letters, but depending on how long your baby's name is, you might want to use one or two glaze colours so that's not too expensive! The ceramic kit incudes one glaze, so add extra glazes (colours all of your choice at checkout). Each glaze pottle will do 3 letters.
We suggest 3M or scotch double sided tape products to fix to wall.
