We still have a good selection of ceramic paint/glazes, finished ceramics and unpainted bisque that we need to find loving homes for. The bisque can be painted at home using acrylic or poster paints and will not need glazing or re-firing. In addition, we have several hundred moulds to dispose of at heart wrenchingly small prices. A bargain not to be missed! Some moulds are no longer in production or are only available from the USA. Anyone interested please contact Tracy at tclark500@hotmail.co.uk to discuss in more detail. A mould list is available if required. May we take this opportunity to thank all our loyal customers. We will miss you all. |
