Course description

Glass marking medium is a type of art supply specifically formulated for drawing, writing, or painting on glass and other non-porous surfaces, such as mirrors, ceramics, and acrylic. These mediums come in various forms, including markers, pens, paints, and even etching creams. Glass markers typically have vibrant, opaque colors that are designed to adhere smoothly to glossy surfaces without streaking or dripping.

Glass marking mediums can be categorized into two types: temporary and permanent. Temporary glass markers can be easily wiped off with a damp cloth or glass cleaner, making them ideal for projects like temporary decorations, labeling, or reusable signage. On the other hand, permanent glass markers or paints are designed to bond with the surface, becoming water-resistant and durable after drying, often requiring baking or air-drying to set. These are commonly used for permanent designs, crafts, or personalized glassware.

Some glass marking mediums are also dishwasher-safe once cured, making them suitable for functional items like mugs, plates, or vases. Artists and DIY enthusiasts can create intricate designs, patterns, or lettering on glass surfaces, adding a creative and decorative touch to everyday items. For more advanced techniques, glass paints or etching creams allow for more artistic freedom, with possibilities such as layering, blending, or creating frosted textures.

Overall, glass marking medium provides versatility, whether for temporary fun or long-lasting art and decoration on glass surfaces.
