Made by us in NZ
Make your pottery pieces ceramic and coat them with our glaze then get them fired at your local kiln so that they are food and water safe!
This jar contains 50mls and will do 2 x mugs or a vase (allowing for 2 x coats of glaze).
Check out our other colours here.
These instructions are for OUR glaze only - all glazes have different application instructions and these ones are specifically for ours.
If you'd like to make your piece ceramic so that it is food and water safe follow the instructions below. Make sure that you DON'T apply any acrylic paint or our sealer to your piece. Please read all of this info before glazing :)
Leave your piece to dry for 2 days with a bag (like a bin liner) over it to slow the drying time down. Then take it off and dry for additional 2 weeks out of direct sunlight so that it becomes bone dry.
- Reach out to your local potters or pottery clubs to ask if they will fire it for you
- There will be a fee for this service (this will vary between kilns) and it is a two step process: Bisque & Gloss firing. Our clay can be bisque fired to 1000 ℃ and then gloss fired to 1220 ℃
GLAZING
1. Shake the jar well - Glazes can be used singularly or mixed for desired colours.
2. Apply one even coat for a translucent finish with your paint brush - make sure you cover all the areas you want to be food safe, and don't apply any glaze to the bottom of your piece. Apply one more coat for an opaque finish (make sure you don't apply too much glaze or it might burn/melt in the kiln). Make sure you let your piece dry in between coats.
**If you only want to design bits of your piece (e.g. paint flowers on it), you'll need to ask the potter who is firing your work to apply a clear glaze to your piece after bisque firing to make the entire piece food and water safe. or if you have bought some of our clear glaze you can apply this before bisque firing.
3. Remove any glaze from the bottom of your piece with a damp sponge so that your piece doesn't stick to the kiln shelf.
4. Take to your local kiln to be bisque and gloss fired. ** If your piece is fully covered with our glaze, there is no need for a clear glaze to be applied after bisque firing.

my partner got me the ceramic pottery kit with the dusty pink glaze 🫶🏼 i made a wall vase and used the leftover clay to make a tiny cat trinket dish. Super fun! design can be as easy or challenging as you’d like. Had some questions regarding when to glaze (answer: once bone-dry) and the team was very quick to respond. Really friendly and approachable. Got the pieces fired at a local kiln from their recommendations.
Beautiful clay to work with & the kit comes with everything you need. We’re obsessed with how our mugs turned out. Such a cute idea for a date night or even a girls night!
Such a cute kit! I bought for myself to make some cute charcuterie boards and a bowl, I’m so happy with them. I’ve now become addicted and started making lots more things! Highly recommend if you want to try something new!
Absolutely loved this kit! Such a great girls night in making our own mugs. All the instructions and videos on Instagram were really helpful and easy to follow. Our local potter was able to fire the mugs for us with no hassle too.
Loved getting this kit, was easy and fun to use and get creative! May have gone alittle overboard
Was a really fun experience to share with my partner at home and will be doing again for sure.
Absolutely the best way to create handmade pottery as a beginner!
Recent work ❤️
Obsessed!!! Super fun date night on valentines day 💝
Loved this kit! It’s super handy that it includes the template and also the tools you’ll need (including the glazes). Is very beginner-friendly and Krissy was really kind to solve questions along the way. My husband and I had so much fun making our mugs and getting creative. Thanks to Modeletto for gifting us this kit, absolutely recommend you try it out!
We absolutely loved our Modeletto pottery date! My boyfriend and I did this together and it was honestly so much fun and so easy from start to finish. Neither of us had ever done pottery before, but everything was really simple to follow and felt super approachable. It was such a nice way to spend intentional time together, and we came away with the cutest matching mugs. It feels so special knowing we made them by hand, and I already can’t wait to have our morning coffees together using them. It was such a fun and memorable experience, and I’d 100% recommend it to anyone looking for a creative way to spend time together :)
We made these for our babies room. A fun date night whilst we were waiting for him to arrive.
The best girls clay night! First attempt at pottery and we had so much fun. An amazing and affordable kit with everything you need at home. Butter dish came out imperfectly cute! Can’t wait to make more.
I love the pottery kit. This last Christmas I made some mugs for my dad and they went down a treat! He loved them and I loved making them. Would highly recommend to anyone wanting to give pottery a go.
My friend and I made these a few weeks ago and we just got our glazed pieces back today! We just wanted to say we love them so much and thanks again for an amazing class! We had to take them for a coffee Ofc
The perfect chip and dip bowl doesn’t exit, so I made one!
I had local kiln and pottery studio plume studio fire it. And I actually love it! 🥰
I made this little plate and I’m obsessed! I got it fired at Plume studio in Ponsonby and it was so easy and cheap to do. Can’t wait to make more.
We took this kit away for the weekend - it was such a fun afternoon creating!
Beautiful product. Website was easy to use and communicating with the owner was a breeze when I had questions.
I’m based in Hawke’s Bay so when I found somewhere to fire it, it was great to know they had a relationship with Modeletto so they knew how to work with the clay and glazes I had used
Would absolutely recommend purchasing from Modeletto again. As an artist’s first-time using ceramics, I wanted a kit that had everything I would need and I was ready to go. They were able to post out my order on the same day and it arrived fast!
My friend and I came to your mug workshop a couple of weeks ago and we just got our glazed pieces back today! We just wanted to say we love them so much and thanks again for an amazing class! We had to take them for a coffee Ofc
