Instructions
- Begin with properly fired shelf cone 04 bisque. Moisten a clean sponge and wipe bisque to remove any dust.
- Center the SB-123 Large Nesting Bowl on a banding wheel. Pencil a line approximately 2" below the rim. Tape below the line, to act as a mask for silkscreening.
- On a palette, with a palette knife, mix AC-310 Silkscreen medium with SG-401 Black and thicken to the consistency of peanut butter.
- Align the small stripes from DSS-0105 Stripes (with the shiny side up) at an angle to the 2" space at the top of the bowl.
- Using a squeegee, rub the thickened SG-401 Black mixture over the stripe pattern to screen. Repeat until all sections are screened.
- Tip: Refer to the Silkscreen Instructions for proper cleaning information. You may need to clean the silkscreen inbetween each screening.
- Align the small stripes (with the shiny side up) at the opposite angle for a crisscross design.
- Using a squeegee, rub the thickened SG-401 Black mixture over the stripe pattern to screen. Repeat until all sections are screened.
- Using CB-606 #6 Soft Fan, apply 2 coats of SW-254 Yellow Opal over the screened stripes and 3 coats to the interior of the SB-123 Large Nesting Bowl. Use a banding wheel when applying the glaze, or brush in a circular direction.
- Remove the tape.
- Brush the remainder of the bowl with 2 coats of SW-118 Sea Salt, recede the last coat one inch from the bottom, using CB-606 #6 Soft Fan. Make sure to stir the glaze as the crystals will be at the bottom.
- Using CB-606 #6 Soft Fan, brush 2 coats of SW-254 Yellow Opal over the SW-118 Sea Salt.
- Be sure to clean any glaze off the bottom of the bowl.
