Question
Hi, I'm a school teacher trying a new craft.  I need to know what I can put on a ceramic tile that has a glaze finish on it if my students drew pictures for Mother's Day, so that is won't wipe off?

Answer
Hi Diana, the only product I know of is sold in craft stores, I don't know the name of it but you paint it on and then put the tile in the kitchen oven and heat up to 200DegC, this bakes it on.

People use it to paint onto glass drinking vessels and the like, I know here in Australia it can be purchased from the craft section of 'Spotlight'.
