Make & Do
Crackle Glaze
Create Picasso-inspired art with a simple crackle glaze effect finish.
You will need:
Paper
Wax crayons or a candle
A bowl of water
Paint (one colour)
A paintbrush
PVA glue (optional)
Instructions:
1. Take a moment to look at the Picasso vase. Consider the markings and think about how you could incorporate these into a brand new design.
2. Unleash your inner Picasso! Using wax crayons, create your own pottery design. Tip: Apply the crayon heavily, and ensure that the whole design is completely covered.
3. Once completed, scrunch the paper into a ball, then flatten it again. We want to create creases in the paper.
4. Using diluted paint, apply a wash over the whole of your design, then place it aside to dry.
5. Once it has dried, you can apply a layer of PVA glue to seal it and give it the glaze effect.
