Instructions

  1. Begin with a trimmed, leather hard vessel.
  2. Using a RB144 #4 Soft Fan, apply 2 coats of UG229 Aquamarine to the belly of the vessel.
  3. Allow the piece to dry completely.
  4. Bisque fire your piece to cone 06-04.
  5. Using an RB144 #4 Soft Fan, apply 3 coats of flux to the top section of the vessel.
  6. Once dry, apply 3 coats of SW165 Lavender Mist on top of that.
  7. Using an RB144 #4 Soft Fan CAREFULLY apply SW444 Pink Bead to the piece. The application thickness can vary depending on the performance of the glaze as it dries.
  8. Try to move the piece into the kiln before it has entirely dried, as Beads can be very fragile as they start to dry and separate.
  9. Place directly on the kiln shelf and fire to cone 6.
