Non Fired Colour

Non-Fired Ceramic Paints for No-Kiln Decorating

Non fired ceramic paint is a simple way to decorate pottery, bisque and craft projects without using a kiln. This range is ideal for home painting, mobile pottery studios, school workshops, children’s craft parties and creative sessions where kiln firing is not practical.

These non-fired colours include acrylic paint for ceramics, craft acrylic paint, metallic finishes, glitter effects, textured colours and other decorative options. They can be used on bisque-fired ceramics, wood, paper, plaster, fabric and selected non-porous surfaces, depending on the product.

For larger acrylic projects, browse our Ready Mixed Acrylic Paints 500ml. For raised winter textures and decorative snow effects, use our No-Fire Snows range.

Why You’ll Love Non-Fired Paints

  • No kiln required for the colour application
  • Useful for ceramics, bisque, wood, plaster, paper, fabric and many craft surfaces
  • Suitable for home painting, classrooms, mobile studios and workshops
  • Works well with air-dry clay projects
  • Use a suitable sealer or varnish where extra surface protection is needed

Non-fired paints are different from kiln-fired ceramic glazes and underglazes. They are chosen for easy no-kiln decoration, while fired colour ranges are used when the finished piece needs to go through a ceramic firing. For the best finish, check the individual product page for surface suitability, drying guidance and recommended protection.
