Paint your own ceramic capybara figure, available on its own or as a complete pottery painting kit with six paint colours and a brush. No kiln firing is needed when using the supplied paints—simply decorate and allow it to air-dry.

With its upright ears, friendly expression and softly sculpted fur, this cheerful capybara is ready for a little creative personality. Choose natural earthy shades, add a colourful patterned blanket or dream up a bright design covered in flowers, spots or stripes.

A lovely creative gift for capybara enthusiasts and animal lovers, it makes a relaxing project for a quiet afternoon or some family crafting time. Once decorated, your capybara can keep you company on a desk, brighten a bookshelf or join a collection of favourite animal figures.

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: 7cm (2.8")

Depth: 5.5cm (2.2")

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

Its characterful standing design features upright ears, a friendly face and softly sculpted fur. The smoother areas provide space for colours, markings and decorative patterns, while the textured details can be highlighted with contrasting shades or techniques such as dry brushing.

Its compact size makes the finished capybara suitable for displaying on a shelf, bookcase, desk, dressing table or bedside table. Display it on its own or alongside other animal figures for a cheerful, nature-inspired collection.

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

This product includes one unpainted capybara figure. Any painted examples shown in the photographs are for creative inspiration, and display accessories are not included.
Create a natural-looking capybara using warm browns and earthy shades, perhaps adding lighter highlights to bring out its softly sculpted fur.

Alternatively, choose a bright and imaginative colour scheme of your own. Add flowers, spots, stripes or colourful markings, or paint a decorative patterned blanket across its back. Keep your design simple or enjoy taking your time over the smaller details.

The capybara 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.
