Alcohol Technique Tile

Designer: Bailey Benson

Instructions

  1. Begin with properly fired cone 04 bisque. Moisten a sponge and wipe bisque to remove any dust.
  2. Take the AC-220 Detailer Tip and 1 oz Bottle and fill it halfway with SC-15 Tuxedo. Fill the remaining space halfway with water. Shake until it is mixed.
  3. Add the rubbing alcohol to the spray bottle. You will only need a few sprays.
  4. Pour out around 1 Tbsp of EL-103 Sea Spray, EL-118 Blue Grotto, and EL-149 Lavender Flower onto the palette.
  5. Dip the Soft Fan into EL-103 Sea Spray and randomly plop glaze onto the tile. Cover around 1/3 of the tile.
  6. Dip the same brush into EL-118 Blue Grotto and randomly plop glaze onto the tile. Cover around 1/3 of the tile. Be sure to plop over some areas that already have glaze from step #5.
  7. Dip the same brush into EL-149 Lavender Flower and randomly plop glaze onto the tile. Cover around 1/3 of the tile. Be sure to plop over some areas that already have glaze from steps #5 and #6.
  8. Dip the same brush back into El-103 Sea Spray and randomly plop over a few areas on the tile. Make sure there are no bare spots.
  9. Take your 1 oz bottle and squirt randomly lines and dots over the tile. Make sure to do this while the glaze from previous steps is still wet.
  10. Immediately spray the tile with rubbing alcohol. Spray 1-3 times. You should see the black lines and dots start to move.
  11. Allow to dry.
  12. Stilt and fire to cone 06.
