An oven doesn't get as hot as a kiln does, unfortunately, so it wouldn't work. Ceramics tend to be a utilities-intensive field, which is part of why not a lot of people get into it, though you can look up if there are any ceramic studios around where you live and see if they could fire any pieces you make. Stoneware can be tricky, since there are little things you have to do to make sure it turns out all right, so Iwould recommend taking a class. If your in middle or high school, most of them offer 3D classes, which would be a good start, or if your out of public education, you could see if a nearby community college offers a course in hand building ceramics.
Though putting paint under the glaze could be a bad idea, I don't know how the two would react or if the burning paint would mess up the glaze.

    If you ever want some advise when you do, feel free to message me Smile If you want, there might be tutorial series on youtube, though obviously not every stoneware tutorial is so good- if you find some vids about it you like, you can send me a link and I'll review them so you know which ones are good. Or maybe I could try and find some and send you the link, but I'm currently quite drawn into a new game and it might be a while in that case, heh.

    Also a tip, when you start out, try not having thin parts like what are on this guy, they break *really* easily and can be hard to do.
