The Rockingham Range of Paints


Disclaimer


□  G L A S S   P A I N T I N G

 

The Rockingham range is a comprehensive range of paints and brushes to fulfil all the requirements of today’s painter.

 

This range of traditional stained glass paints is sourced from well established companies in Staffordshire, central England. Staffordshire is the centre of the ceramics industry and is commonly known as the ‘Potteries’. It is the home of well known factories such as Royal Doulton, Wedgwood, Minton and Spode, which have helped to develop local companies specializing in the manufacture of paints and enamel for use on china and glass.

 

The range offers a variety of colours, ranging from the more traditional shades to contemporary colours such as orange and purple. They are available in tracing and shading colours, silver stains, transparent and opaque enamels. The paints are finely ground to produce smoother lines and more delicate shading and are packaged in 60cc containers each holding 50g of powdered paint. They should be mixed with water and gum Arabic or other mixing agents before application to glass and subsequent firing.

 

The range of brushes has been compiled to offer the painter a brush for all painting requirements. The brushes are made entirely by craftsmen using the highest quality materials, which include badger hair blenders and ox hair tracers.
