Instructions

  1. Begin with properly fired cone 04 bisque. Moisten a sponge and wipe bisque to remove any dust.
  2. Squeeze out around 2 TBS of SC-12 Moody Blue onto the palette. Add a pinch of AC-310 Silkscreen Medium. Mix with a palette knife until it becomes the consistency of peanut butter. You may need to add more silkscreen medium or glaze.
  3. Place the DSS-0164 Continuous Swirls screen over the platter, shiny side down. While holding the screen firmly in the center, take the squeegee and scoop out around 1 TSP of premixed silkscreen medium. Firmly run the squeegee across the center of the plate, spreading the medium. Repeat with more medium until the center is covered. Then repeat going up from the center to the outside of the platter.
  4. Using the Soft Fan with FN-212 Blue Diamond, apply 2 coats to the front of the platter. Allow glaze to dry between coats.
  5. Once the glaze is dry to the touch, place 1 piece of MC-002 12mm Low Track Masking Tape going across the center.
  6. Using the Soft Fan with FN-213 Saffire Blue, apply 1 coat below the tape. Remove the tape before the glaze is bone dry.
  7. Once the glaze is dry to the touch, place another piece of MC-002 12mm Low Track Masking Tape going across the center of the previously glazed section.
  8. Using the Soft Fan with FN-213 Saffire Blue, apply 1 coat below the tape. Remove the tape before the glaze is bone dry.
  9. Using the Soft Fan with SC-12 Moody Blue, apply 3 coats to the back and edge of the platter. Allow glaze to dry between coats.
  10. Fire to cone 06.
