Can I handpaint and refire a ceramic tile.Tiles will be used outdoors so ceramic or porcelain?
My daughter desires to tile a cement block wall that is outside for her senior Girl Scout gold project. Cost is a concern as daddy bears this cost but does she need to use porcelain or will ceramic do? Then, does she need glazed finish or matte finish tiles to paint? The art teacher at her high school has offered to help refire the tiles and he can fire to a Cone 6. Thirdly, what kind of paint and glaze should she use?
Forget about porcellain, cheap white ceramic tiles will do, and choose low fire glazes as it’s more likely that they will work. Look if there is a ceramics supplies store (yellow pages) in town or a pottery studio. Most of the places which sell glazes are very knowledgable about their product and can guide you which ones to use.
Your daughter will have to run tests first to check everything works. But if she is a senior girl scout she should be old enough to be able to do her own research on the project.
