Manual decoration of ceramic items, through a process of applying paints, oxides, etc., washed manually with the help of brushes and glazing guns, among other instruments. This activity involves the use of ceramic supports (earthenware, porcelain, tiles, etc.) and the ceramic firing of the applied paints and glazes.
