Instructions

  1. Begin with properly fired shelf cone 6 bisque. Moisten a clean sponge and wipe bisque to remove any dust.
  2. With a pencil, draw a circle guide on the inside of the SB-105 Rimmed Dinner Plate and SB-106 Rimmed Bowl bisque.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. With a palette knife, mix UG-208 Dragon Red with AC-310 Silkscreen Medium to the consistency of peanut butter.
  6. With a palette knife, mix UG-50 Jet Black with AC-310 Silkscreen Medium to the consistency of peanut butter.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. 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. 
  10. Using CS-604 Soft Fan, brush SW-201 Turquoise over the SW-255 Gray Opal painted areas on the SB-106 Rimmed Bowl and SB-205 Rimmed Dinner Plate. Allow glaze to dry completely between coats. Apply 3 coats.
  11. Using a damp sponge, clean off any excess glaze off the feet of each bisque.
  12. Do not hang over the shelf or stilt. Fire to cone 5/6.
