Instructions

Note: UNDERGLAZE IN POWDER FORM IS A RESPIRATORY HAZARD. THIS TECHNIQUE REQUIRES USE OF RESPIRATORY PROTECTION.

  1. Begin with soft fired stoneware bisque.  
  2. Moisten a clean sponge and wipe bisque to remove debris. 
  3. Apply a generous even coat of UG-218 Pear Green to outside of pan. Let dry. 
  4. Apply a speckling of dots with SG-408 Orange over the UG-218 Pear Green. 
  5. Apply a generous even coat of UG-91 True Teal over the outside of pan. Let dry. 
  6. Apply a speckling of dots with SG-409 Bright Green. Let dry. 
  7. Apply a generous even coat of UG-50 Jet Black over the outside of pan. Let dry. *Be sure it has dried completely, this technique will not work if there is any moisture remaining in underglaze* 
  8. While wearing a respirator in a well-ventilated space, carefully use sandpaper to sand the outside of the pan, revealing layers of underglaze and dots underneath, being mindful of leaving outer layer visible. For this design, keep all sandpaper motion horizontal. Fold sandpaper for more precision. Brush away all underglaze debris with a DB-805 #3 Fan Dry Brush.  
  9. Apply 2 coats of SW-004 Zinc-Free Clear to outside of pan. 
  10. Apply 3 coats of SW-129 Copper Float to inside of pan and handles.
