Underglaze paints are a water based paint, which will need to be glazed and fired, making them brighter, stronger and dishwasher safe (though we’d recommend handwashing to prolong the life of your beautiful creation). All underglazes, glazes, and paints used by Glazing Waves are water soluble (unless advised otherwise) and as such, the purchaser agrees to assume all liabilities for any and all damages or consequential damages, resulting from use, misuse or accidental spillage of our products during use at our studio, their own home or any venue by the event/party organiser and by their guests and attendees. The purchaser further agrees that Glazing Waves shall not be responsible, accountable or liable in any way for bodily injury resulting from the misuse of any equipment supplied by Glazing Waves for use at a party, event or DIY-Home Painting Kit used in your own home or other venue.

When firing pottery in a kiln, on rare occasions things can go wrong. This is because by the very nature of the process and the chemical changes that happen at high temperatures, a flaw may occur. If this happens then we will endeavour to rectify and save your work of art but if that is not possible, we will replace your item with a new item of bisque to the value of that piece to give you an opportunity to paint again. Glazing Waves cannot be held responsible for accidental damage to your finished product once it is in your possession. On collection or delivery of your product, you are advised to inspect the items for any damage.

Acrylic Paints can be purchased for private parties – If you choose the acrylic paints, subject to availability, you will receive a 10% discount and be able to keep your painted items on the day of the event. Acrylic paints are perfect for ornamental pieces, including figurines, money boxes or trinket boxes. They are not suitable for tableware items as these need to be glazed and fired to make them food safe. Just enter the code ACRYLIC10 at the checkout for the 10% discount to be applied. Acrylic and Underglaze Paints can not be mixed - therefore one option will need to be selected for your event.

Profit from our workshops, events and kits contributes towards delivering Community Projects to Cornish communities, including inclusive art sessions. We partner with local organisations to deliver the projects to those who need them most. We'll keep you up to date on what projects we've delivered to the local areas with our monthly newsletter if you opt to subscribe.

Inclusive Art Sessions will provide a safe and supportive environment to be creative in a relaxed setting, providing gentle guidance; to promote independence, improve self-esteem, allow social connections and to learn or develop a new skill. This in-turn should improve mental wellbeing and help to lower stress and anxiety.  Inclusive Art Sessions ensures equal access to the workshops and activities, working with marginalised groups in the community, including people with disability, isolated individuals, supporting those struggling with mental health, with learning difficulties or health issues, low-income families, and the elderly.
