Ice Cream Party

We all stay really busy around here, so not everyone gets a chance to paint. We've got a fun new promotion coming up, so we took the opportunity to get everyone into the studio to paint, as well as have a little ice cream party!

Everyone chose their bowls, picked out some colors and went over techniques. Then the crew got to work! We had a blast painting together...it was really fun to see everyone's different styles come out, as well as our similarities!

Two weeks later, we got together and had an ice cream party to use our freshly fired bowls. It was delicious and a great way to break up a Friday.

Among the most popular tools were our
Paint dotters
Detail writers
Decorating wheels

Lots of people used bright, summery Duncan paints like 505, 302 and 511. The Really White Sprinkles were used as well, and they ended up looking a lot like the real thing!

This could be a great project for your summer camps. You could paint the bowls on the first day and have them fired in time for a little end of the week party!

Here are a few photos of our finished products. You can check out more on our Flickr.
