Instructions

  1. Begin with properly fired cone 04 bisque. Moisten a sponge and wipe bisque to remove any dust.
  2. Using the Soft Fan with FN-001 White, apply 1 coat to the front of the canvas.
  3. After the glaze is dry to the touch, place the pattern on top and trace with the pencil. Lift up the pattern to make sure you’re using the correct amount of pressure.
  4. Squeeze around 1 TBS of SC-14 Java Bean, SC-34 Down to Earth, SC-41 Brown Cow and SC-48 Camel Back onto the palette. Create Color Mix #1 and Color Mix #2 by mixing ½ TBS of each color (listed in color section). Label the colors on your palette – they will look similar.
  5. Using the Script Liner with colors from the previous step, apply 2 coats to the corresponding section of the pattern. Refer to the pattern for color placement. Allow glaze to dry between coats.
  6. Using Sgraffito Tool or Sharp Skewer, trace over the lines of the pattern. You should end up with white lines separating the different colors.
  7. Using the Soft Fan with SG-703 Autumn, apply 2 coats over the front of the canvas. Allow glaze to dry between coats.
  8. Using the Soft Fan with SC-15 Tuxedo, apply 2 coats to the edges of the canvas.
  9. Fire to cone 06.
