Paint Your Own Pottery at Home Kits




Check out the super cute new kits from Pottery Awesomeness! These are the perfect project for kids and families to enjoy together. With themed-subscription boxes, like Halloween, Sweet Tooth, Sports Fanatic and more, kids will be excited to receive these boxes that come with everything they need to create their masterpiece! Each box includes three cute figurines, acrylic paint, paint brushes, a glossy sealer and an instruction card with QR codes that will direct painters to painting tutorials and instructions. For every kit purchased, Pottery Awesomeness donates a painting kit to sick children in hospitals. They work directly with the lead art therapist at each hospital to determine what supplies are needed. 




My Thoughts

I loved these! My kids thought they were amazing. We love doing crafts like this. Perfect gift for grandparents or parents alike. It included a good color selection. You can also add your own acrylic colors if you want more, or mix the colors to make your own. I learned how to make brown doing this project lol. It didn’t look like a lot of paint, but it was more than enough. This kit is of good quality and a great value. It also comes with directions, and a glaze to seal them with when you are done. This is one of those wonderful zen like projects where I can turn off my brain and relax. it is like mediation for me. I am actually going to put these up with the Halloween decorations and save them for next year as well. 

The only fault I have with it is that the brushes are tiny. For the pumpkin I used the larger one that they have you for the glaze and went and got a second one from my own collection to apply the glaze with. The kids helped me with the pumpkin. There are tons of boxes to choose. They have standard packages where you can order one box, monthly subscriptions, and party packs. If you wanted to have a home pottery painting party for a birthday, these are perfect. They are completely customizable as well. You can do simple packs or pick out all decorations and themes. They are a party in a box. Super cute.

Polmedia Polish Pottery Review





Polish Pottery is beautiful and durable stoneware that is made by hand in Boleslawiec in the South-West region of Poland. Stoneware is a type of clay that is fired and matured in extremely high temperature exceeding 2200 degrees Fahrenheit. In essence it is a man-made stone that is impermeable and hard enough to resist scratching by a steel point. This hand painted stoneware became known throughout the world simply as Polish pottery.

There are several factories in Boleslawiec that manufacture Polish pottery. The highest quality Polish pottery is made by Ceramika Artystyczna. Their craftsmanship has been internationally recognized year after year. They employ the most talented artists in the region who hand-paint each piece of Polish pottery using brushes and sponges from the Baltic Sea. Another large manufacturer is Zaklady Ceramiczne. The smaller ones include Manufaktura, Wiza, Millenium, WR, Dana, Andy, Cerfar, Cergor and many more.

Polish pottery found on www.polmedia.com is safe to use in the microwave, oven, dishwasher and freezer. All Polish pottery that we sell is lead and cadmium free. We only import the highest quality Polish pottery, also known as Quality 1. 






Our Thoughts

This company has some very unique products as shown above. Of course my love of coffee forced me to choose a mug and how adorable it is too!
Beautifully crafted, extremely soft and keeps my coffee the perfect temperature! Then handle fits my little fingers perfectly and the cup itself isn't too hot with my beverage. Also great for you milk drinkers too or whatever else you want to put in there. There are not any blemishes on my mug that I received. The colors are vibrant and I love that the designs depict the Polish culture/style. Each piece is unique and suited to your taste. Polmedia has so many pieces to choose from there is something for everyone, from butter dishes to home decorative pieces!

They also make lovely hand-crafted jewelry such as this stunning bracelet below.




All pieces are reasonably priced for an amazing splash of Poland in your home. Buy yours here and don't forget to check them out on Facebook as well as their blog!
