Pottery painting studios let you paint a piece before it is fired in a kiln. These nine show three designs: a mug with cherries and a checker rim, a plate with lemons, and a bowl with stripes and dots. Each piece appears freshly painted, after firing in a glaze, and in use in a kitchen. Type a design, such as strawberries or blue willow, to ask for it.

Frequently asked questions

What do the nine pictures show?
A mug with cherries, a plate with lemons and a bowl with stripes and dots. Each is shown before firing, after firing and in use.
Are these photos of studio pieces?
No. They are generated pictures of each design, not photographs of pieces from a particular studio.
What is the difference before and after firing?
Before firing the paint is chalky and matte. After firing the glaze makes the colours deeper and glossy.
Can I ask for a different design?
Yes. Type a design such as strawberries, a pet portrait or blue willow. A typed design is a request, not a promised result.

About toile

This page is a showcase and a starting point: nine samples already rendered, three readings of the pack crossed with three styles, each shown at the size and ratio it was made for. Take any of them further on the wall with a few words, or ask for all nine again under your own direction; a sign-in keeps what you make, and it is free while Toile is new. The recipe behind each sample — the subject, the style, the palette, the framing — travels with the image rather than staying private to the render: it is in the alt text of every sample and in the page's own structured data, so a search engine reads the same handles a person would.
