Here's another caution about using shoe polish on bisque ware!
Shoe polish is wax based, which means it will resist watercolors, acrylic
paint, and tempera paint. Try using acrylic paint for the details first,
then after it dries apply the shoe polish. When buffed, the shoe polish
should look like a glaze over the painted details. The patina of buffed
shoe polish will be beautifully old looking.
Give each child a pair of plastic sandwich bags or latex gloves to protect
hands, and wearing a smock is a must!
Good luck, Mark
