Instructions

  1. Begin with soft fired stoneware bisque.  
  2. Moisten a clean sponge and wipe bisque to remove any dust.  
  3. Use the Round Brush to apply ¼” of AC-302 Wax Resist around the outside bottom of the dish. Follow the instructions on the bottle for conditioning the brush prior to use. Wash brush immediately after use.  
  4. Use another Round Brush to apply two ribbons of SW-401 Light Flux inside the bowl and one ribbon of Light Flux outside the bowl. 
  5. Use the Round Brush to paint the following colors in ribbons around the Light Flux: alternate SC-28 Blue Isle, SC-29 Blue Grass, and SC-7 Leapin’ Lizard. Repeat on the outside of bowl. Apply 2 coats on the inside and outside ribbons. 
  6. On the inside of the bowl, use the Soft Fan to create a circle of SW-176 Sandstone in the center. Working up in layers, slightly overlap each color as you move to the top: SW-212 Peacock, SW-109 Capri Blue, and SW-211 Glacier Blue. Apply 2 coats. 
  7. Once dry, apply 1 heavy coat of SW-150 Celeadon Bloom (SW150) on top of the Glacier Blue. 
  8. On the outside, starting at the bottom, apply 2” of Sandstone (SW176). Moving up on the bowl, apply Peacock, slightly overlapping with Peacock (SW212). Moving up, apply Glacier Blue (SW211) slightly overlapping Peacock. Apply 2 coats on all of these colors. Apply 1 heavy coat of Celedon Bloom (SW150) on top of the Glacier Blue.
