Instructions

Directions (Please remember to write clear and concise directions, include item numbers and names)

  1. Begin with properly fired shelf cone 04 bisque. Moisten a clean sponge and wipe bisque to remove any dust.
  2. Using a CB604 #4 Soft Fan, apply 2 coats of EL135 Rare Earth to the stem and 3 coats to the underside of the mushroom top.   Allow to dry!
  3. Stir and shake the CG1013 Papaya glaze.  Place some of the glaze on a paper plate or palette.
  4. Using a CB604 #4 Soft Fan, apply 2 coats of CG1013 Papaya top of the mushroom. Allow to dry!
  5. Pour some PC602 White Cascade and PC601 Clear Cascade onto a paper plate or glazed tile (palette).
  6. Using a Plastic Pot Scrubber, dab some of the PC602 Whit Cascade to the top of the mushroom and to about 1 ½ inches from the bottom of the stem.   Repeat using the PC601 Clear Cascade. Do not cover the areas completely, allow the bas glaze to show through.  Allow to dry!
  7. Stir and shake the S2708 Oriental Carmel and the S2709 Cappuccino Mint glaze.  Place some of the S2708 Oriental Carmel glaze on a paper plate or palette.
  8. Using a CB604 #4 Soft Fan, apply 2 coats of S2708 Oriental Carmel to the mushroom top.  Allow to dry between each coat!
  9. Stir and shake the S2709 Cappuccino Mint glaze.  Place some of the S2709 Cappuccino Mint glaze on a paper plate or palette.
  10. Using a CB604 #4 Soft Fan, apply 2 coats of S2709 Cappuccino Mint to the mushroom stem.  Allow to dry between each coat!

Additional Adaptations & Tips if needed.

  1. Make sure to shake all products to mix well.
  2. Pottery Cascades are moving, flowing glazes, commonly used under or over other glazes to create reactions and movement.
  3. PC601 Clear Cascade will have more movement than PC602 White Cascade.
  4. The Cascades can be applied over, under or in between glazes such as Elements, Jungle Gems, Foundations and Stroke & Coats.
  5. The heavier application of the Cascades the more movement it will have.
  6. Cascades can also be used in glaze combinations such as the plop technique.
