Personalizing Porcelain Items Live with Porcelaine150 Painting

April 9, 2025

In this article I introduce my readers to Pebeo's water-based non-toxic Porcelaine150 paints to personalize porcelain, dishes, mugs, tiles and other glazed ceramic or stoneware items. It is a fun paint to use with older kids and adults for party projects and homewares customization.

This is a comprehensive workshop about porcelain painting including:

  • loads of painted samples

  • using thrifted and repurposed items

  • how to do surface preparation

  • porcelain painting tips and fixes

  • drawing with porcelain markers

  • painting special effects: sponging, 3D, shimmer, matte and more

Baking the Porcelaine150 Paintings

According to the instructions on the Porcelaine150 paints literature, after allowing your painted item to fully dry (I dry for 3 days), bake the painted piece in a home oven at 150 Celsius or 302 Fahrenheit degrees for 35 minutes in order to make the paint dishwasher and microwave safe.

Baking Tip: Put your painted item in a cold oven, then bring it to temperature, bake for 35 minutes, then allow the oven to cool thoroughly before removing the baked item.

Additional Baking Tip: I recommend you DO NOT BAKE IN A TOASTER OVEN! The temperature spikes too often and I have found this can potentially burn the paint creating brown spots or bubbles.

Layering Tip: You can bake layers of painting to fully set them (after letting them dry for 2-3 days), then go over the top with additional painting layers. That way you can make corrections on the new layers without disturbing the baked layers.

Watch the full video above for many more porcelain painting tips!
