All my Ceramic surfaces are made right here in the USA. The Bisque is made by pouring Slip(liquid clay)into molds, then, dryed, cleaned and fired in my kiln once. This is one of the smoothest surfaces you'll ever paint on.
The glazed Ceramic pieces have the same steps, then glaze is applied and fired one more time. This is a great surface for the FA Enamels. Try them, YOU'LL LOVE THEM!
