Instructions

  1. Begin with a properly fired cone 06-04 bisque vessel.
  2. Using a RB144 #4 Soft Fan, apply 2 coats of SW165 Lavender Mist to the entire vessel (not the bottom or handle). Apply a third coat to the interior.
  3. Apply 2 coats of SW228 Beetle Wing to the exterior of the piece, since this glaze is not recommended for surfaces that directly come into contact with food (Not Dinnerware Safe) be sure begin the combination at least an inch below the rim. This combination can create a lot of movement and we want the outcome to create a gradient, so you will want to apply one coat to the bottom section and then the second coat across the middle of that section. This will leave space for the combination to move down and allow the Lavender Mist gradually fade into the full combination.
  4. Clean the bottom of the piece with a damp sponge.
  5. Place directly on the kiln shelf and fire to cone 6.
