Delft Traditions draws inspiration from authentic Delftware, a type of tin-glazed pottery that originated in Delft, Netherlands, in the 17th century. The inlay showcases intricate floral patterns, pastoral scenes, and classical motifs, all hallmarks of Delftware.

For those pining over the authentic vintage Delftware in boutiques and antique stores, this collection makes that timeless beauty attainable and affordable.

WHAT ARE IOD PAINT INLAYS?

IOD Paint Inlays are ground-breaking, first-in-class, premium art products that will revolutionize the DIY industry and empower creative exploration across all skill levels. In short, they are AH-MAZING, if we do say so ourselves. (Three years in the making so we love them like our kids!)

IOD Paint Inlays are the artisanal answer to decor transfers. They’re not a decal; they’re not a synthetic film; they’re not decoupage.

When you apply an IOD Paint Inlay, paint is physically embedded into the surface of your project. After drying, the carrier paper is removed, leaving an authentic painted design and a buttery, almost leather-like surface on your piece.

HOW DO IOD PAINT INLAYS WORK?

IOD Paint Inlays are made from proprietary artist-quality paints that we formulated specifically for decorative use. Organic in nature, the Paint Inlays transfer the painted design yielding a slightly varied and uniquely beautiful aesthetic each time they’re used.

The results are visually interesting, texturally complex, and often inherently distressed. The paint formula is 'active' until sealed. That means that you can manipulate it and apply special techniques or a custom touch before you seal your piece.

IMPORTANT NOTE: IOD recommends for best results with basic application, use a chalk-type paint that does not contain polymers. Polymer-based paints and topcoats can also be used, but the timing and results will vary, so check out IOD tutorials for that and more special technique videos.
