Instructions
- Begin with properly fired shelf cone 6 bisque. Moisten a clean sponge and wipe bisque to remove any dust.
- With a pencil, draw a circle guide on the inside of the SB-105 Rimmed Dinner Plate and SB-106 Rimmed Bowl bisque.
- Using CB-604 Soft Fan, brush SW-201 Turquoise inside the pencil guideline on the SB-105 Rimmed Dinner Plate and SB-106 Rimmed Bowl bisque. Also brush SW-201 Turquoise on the inside and outside of the SB-116 Flared Mug, excluding the handle. Allow glaze to dry completely between coats. Apply 3 coats.
- With a palette knife, mix UG-1 King's Blue with AC-310 Silkscreen Medium to the consistency of peanut butter.
- Tip: If the mixture is too fluid, the screened image will bleed. If it is too solid, the the mixture will not screen through.
- With a palette knife, mix UG-208 Dragon Red with AC-310 Silkscreen Medium to the consistency of peanut butter.
- With a palette knife, mix UG-50 Jet Black with AC-310 Silkscreen Medium to the consistency of peanut butter.
- Within the pencil guideline, use DSS-0110 Botanical - Trees and Grass to screen various trees and grasses on the plate and bowl bisque. To screen, select a thickened glaze from the previous steps to rub, with your finger or rib, on the grain side of the screen. Allow screened image to dry completely before screening again.
- Repeat screening process of trees and grass on the side of the SB-116 Flared Mug bisque. Rinse screen or lay in water to clean. Lay screen flat to dry.
- Using CB-604 Soft Fan, brush SW-255 Gray Opal to all unglazed areas of the three bisque pieces. Do so without overlapping the SW-201 Turquoise painted section. Allow glaze to dry completely between coats. Apply 3 coats. *This also includes the backside of the SB-105 Rimmed Dinner Plate, the bottom of the SB-106 Rimmed Bowl, and the handle of the SB-116 Flared Mug.
