Instructions

  1. Begin with properly fired cone 04 bisque. Moisten a sponge and wipe bisque to remove any dust.
  2. Using the Script Liner with SP-211 Speckled Blue Yonder, SP-212 Speckled Moody Blue and SP-231 Speckled The Blues, apply 2 coats to each of “scoops” on the mug. Alternate between colors so that the same color is not next to itself. Allow glaze to dry between coats.
  3. Take MC-002 12mm Low Tack Masking Tape and wrap it around the foot of the mug to separate the foot from the body.
  4. Using the Script Liner with FN-212 Blue Diamond, apply 3 coats to the outside of the mug. Do not glaze to foot or bottom. Allow glaze to dry between coats.
  5. Remove the tape before the glaze is bone dry.
  6. Using the Soft Fan with FN-221 Milk Glass White, apply 3 coats to the foot, bottom and inside of the mug. Allow glaze to dry between coats.
  7. Fire to cone 06.
