Name: Paint Your Own Axolotl Facetini Ceramic Figure
Brand: ArtyPax

From £18.99

Paint your own ceramic axolotl Facetini figure, available alone or as a complete kit with six paint colours and no kiln firing needed.

This cheerful unpainted axolotl has distinctive external gills, a friendly face, little feet and a curved tail. Its modern geometric surface is formed from individual faceted panels, making it particularly effective for colour blocking, blended shades and contrasting designs.

Create an axolotl in soft pinks, golden tones or natural darker colours, or invent a rainbow, galaxy or patterned character entirely of your own.

A relaxing screen-free project and wonderfully unusual gift for axolotl enthusiasts, amphibian lovers and fans of quirky animals, your finished figure will add a little aquatic character to a shelf, desk or colourful collection.

Paintbrush handle colours may occasionally vary from those pictured.
Is it beginner friendly?
Yes. The raised details make the design approachable for someone painting their first ceramic, while the larger areas leave plenty of scope for experienced painters to add shading, patterns, fine details or mixed-media decoration.

Will the recipient need anything else?
Choose a complete kit and they will receive the ceramic, six paint colours, a brush and helpful instructions. They will only need a small pot of water and something to protect their work surface.

No kiln or specialist equipment is required. The ceramic-only option is best for someone who already owns craft supplies.

How messy is it?
It is a straightforward tabletop activity rather than a specialist pottery setup. We recommend covering the surface, wearing an apron or older clothes and keeping water and kitchen paper nearby. As with most craft paints, spills may stain some fabrics or surfaces.
Approximate measurements:

Height: 12cm (4.7")

Depth: 7.5cm (3")

The axolotl is hand-cast in earthenware ceramic bisque and kiln-fired at over 1,000°C, creating a high-quality unpainted surface ready for decoration.

A Facetini is a compact version of a faceted ceramic figure. It has the same distinctive angular, geometric style in a smaller size that is easy to paint, display and collect.

This sitting axolotl includes sculpted external gills, a cheerful face, little feet and a curved tail. Its surface is divided into individual geometric panels that can be painted separately, grouped into larger areas or blended together with several shades.

Its compact size makes the finished axolotl suitable for displaying on a shelf, bookcase, desk or bedside table, either alone or as part of an amphibian, aquatic, animal or Facetini collection.

As each ceramic figure is hand-cast, very small variations may naturally occur.

This product includes one unpainted axolotl Facetini figure. Any painted examples shown in the photographs are for creative inspiration.
Paint your axolotl in soft pinks, golden tones or natural darker shades, perhaps highlighting its external gills, face, feet and tail in contrasting colours.

Alternatively, create a rainbow, galaxy or patterned axolotl that is completely your own. The individual faceted panels are ideal for colour blocking, blending different shades or picking out selected sections with spots, stripes and tiny details.

The axolotl can be decorated using the paints supplied with a complete kit or your own acrylic or poster paints. The six kit colours can be mixed together to create additional shades.

You can also experiment with suitable craft materials such as decoupage, glitter, glue or foam clay. Simply decorate your figure and allow it to air-dry—there is no need to return it for kiln firing.

If you have access to your own kiln, the bisque ceramic is also suitable for ceramic glazes and can be fired to cone 06. This is entirely optional and is not required when using ordinary craft paints.
