<\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\nWhich pieces can you paint with UV glazes?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
The studio has more than 20 pieces to choose from. The most popular are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mugs.<\/strong> Our most popular piece. It's easy to handle, designs flow nicely around the cylindrical surface, and the result ends up in the home of whoever uses it every morning. Under black light, a mug that already looked nice becomes something completely different.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Plates.<\/strong> More surface to work with. Central designs, motifs around the rim or geometric patterns have plenty of room. They work especially well as decorative pieces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Bowls.<\/strong> The curved surface adds a little challenge that makes the result more interesting. Designs that run all the way around are especially striking under UV light.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Other pieces.<\/strong> Jugs, vases, decorative figures and more shapes available at the studio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2192 See all the details of the UV ceramics workshop at Paint Barcelona<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n One of the most common stumbling blocks in ceramics workshops is the design. The curved surface of a mug isn't easy to draw on freehand, and the difference between the raw colour and the final result makes it hard to predict how it will turn out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Print & Trace method solves the first problem: bring any reference on your phone, we print it, you trace it straight onto the piece with the help of a light, and you can paint over a precise design without having drawn anything. The result is yours, but it doesn't depend on your drawing skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The second problem, colour, is solved by our studio team. Before you start, we explain how UV glazes change in the kiln, which colours become more intense and which work best under black light. That way there are no unpleasant surprises when you collect your piece, just the piece you had in mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Neither is better than the other. It depends on what you're looking for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Paint Barcelona's UV ceramics<\/strong> are the choice if you want the wow factor of the black light effect, and a more striking result unlike anything you've painted before. The moment we switch on the black light and the colours burst into life is every group's favourite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Traditional ceramics with conventional glazes<\/strong> are the choice if you prefer softer, earthier colours, a more handcrafted finish or a palette with shades that don't work well under UV. It's also the option if you want a wider choice of pieces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If that's what you're after, right next to Paint Barcelona is La Pintor\u00e0mica Born<\/a><\/strong>, on the same street, with more than 100 ceramic pieces and traditional glazes. They're different spaces offering different things, but both are in the heart of El Born and both let you create something handmade that's ready to collect in a few days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you're not sure which suits what you have in mind, ask us before booking and we'll help you decide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For anyone who wants to try something new.<\/strong> If you've already painted conventional ceramics, the UV version is a completely different experience. The wow factor of the black light effect is one of a kind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As a gift.<\/strong> A mug or plate painted with UV glazes is a gift unlike anything you can buy. The person who receives it gets a unique, handmade object with a visual effect they won't find in any shop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For groups and hen or stag parties.<\/strong> The black light moment is the highlight of the session: everyone takes photos of their pieces, comparing results gets people talking, and the group leaves with a souvenir of the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For anyone who says they can't draw.<\/strong> The Print & Trace method removes that obstacle from the very first minute. The result always surprises the person who made it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Paint Barcelona is at Carrer de l’Esparteria 12, in El Born, two minutes from Santa Maria del Mar and the Picasso Museum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n UV ceramics sessions last between 90 and 120 minutes and include your piece, all materials and firing. Pieces are ready to collect from the studio three days later. Booking is online, and we recommend booking ahead for weekends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you'd rather do ceramics without UV, remember that La Pintor\u00e0mica Born<\/a><\/strong> is right next door, with traditional glazes and a wide selection of pieces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2192 Book your UV ceramics session<\/a> Are UV glazes safe to use with food?<\/strong> How long does it take for a UV ceramic piece to be ready?<\/strong> Can you see the UV effect in normal light?<\/strong> Do I need any previous experience?<\/strong> What's the difference between Paint Barcelona's UV ceramics and La Pintor\u00e0mica's ceramics?<\/strong> Can we do UV ceramics as a group?<\/strong> Si buscas talleres de cer\u00e1mica en Barcelona, encontrar\u00e1s varias opciones.

Yes. The fluorescent glazes used at Paint Barcelona are food-safe once fired at high temperature. You can use your mug or plate with complete peace of mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Three days from your session. The piece goes into the kiln after the workshop and is ready to collect once it's fired and glazed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In normal light the colours are bright and intense. The fluorescent effect only appears under a UV light source. At the studio we keep black light on throughout the session so you can see the effect as you paint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
No. The Print & Trace method lets you create a precise design without drawing freehand. Our team is with you throughout the session.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Paint Barcelona uses fluorescent UV glazes: what sets it apart is the black light effect. La Pintor\u00e0mica, right next door in El Born, works with traditional glazes and has more than 100 pieces to choose from. They complement each other: if you want UV, choose Paint Barcelona; if you prefer conventional glazes or a wider choice of pieces, choose La Pintor\u00e0mica.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Yes. Paint Barcelona tailors sessions to groups of 6 or more, with the option of a private space. For large groups, get in touch directly.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
