Ceramic Palettes
Ceramic palettes are sturdy, long-lasting mixing surfaces ideal for watercolour and gouache. They feature smooth, non-absorbent wells and mixing areas that make colour blending and cleanup effortless.
A ceramic paint palette has an easy-wipe surface that won't stain or retain pigment, providing you with pure colour mixing session after session. Porcelain palettes are made with a more refined clay, which makes them harder, stronger, and less porous. Shop popular brands, including Etchr, Richeson, and our own Jackson's range.
Ceramic Palettes: Popular Questions from Artists
Jackson’s offers a wide selection of ceramic palettes in a variety of sizes and shapes. Designed with artists in mind, these palettes feature smooth, non-porous surfaces that resist staining and allow for easy, accurate mixing.
Ceramic watercolour palettes are mixing trays made from fired ceramic or porcelain. They feature wells, slants, or flat areas for blending colours. Their smooth, glazed surface prevents paint from absorbing into the material and will last a lifetime if cared for.
Artists value watercolour ceramic palettes for their weight, durability, and ease of use. Their sturdiness makes them ideal for studio work, and their ease of cleaning adds to their appeal. Many also appreciate their aesthetic, often handcrafted finish.
‘A studio piece. A thing of beauty is a joy forever. This palette certainly qualifies. The smooth bright whiteness is vital in helping you to clearly see your colours and the adjustments you make when mixing – it’s a pure and simple way of achieving your best result. This palette has weight, without being hefty and it will not move about.’
