Personalizing Your Pottery
To make pottery personal and unique is a gift. You have both colors and textures to work with as well as the purpose for which you want to use the pottery for differs from person to person, which includes not food safe, not dishwasher safe etc. In making your masterpieces, you will need to decide what you are going to create and what the limitations, colors, shapes and sizes will be.

When painting a treasure please bear in mind that you may have to have a certain type of paint to be able to paint the pottery, and some paint is lead based, which is not good for little children. Also some paint is not waterproof and will need a coating of clear lacquer to keep the paint on. Some materials will not take paint very well, and others will take paint very easily. You will need to plan your paints around your projects and what those projects are for. This will help you to paint accordingly and to make your creation a one of a kind present.
These types of personalization make for dream gifts for all those who are lucky enough to get your personalized gifts. These gifts are wonderful for graduation, for a new baby or a house warming for starters. The list for gifts just goes on and on. Each time you gift a person with a personalized gift, you will be gifting this person with a one of a kind gift that is especially made by you for them. The amount of personalization is really up to you as to how personal of a gift that you make to someone else.
