Instructions

  1. Begin with soft fired stoneware bisque. Moisten a sponge and wipe bisque to remove any dust.
  2. Pour out around 2 TBS of SW-509 Dark Green Gloss 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. Take DSS-0163 Continuous Fronds Screen and place it on top of the plate, shiny side down. Make sure it covers the rim of the bowl.
  4. While holding the screen firmly in place, scoop a small amount of premixed silkscreen medium onto the squeegee and pull across the rim of the bowl. Repeat until the entire rim of the bowl is screened.
  5. Using the Soft Fan with SW-253 Green Opal, apply 1 coat to the front of the bowl and 3 coats to the back. Allow glaze to dry between coats. After the back is dry, flip the bowl back over to the front.
  6. Pour around ½ oz of SW-401 Light Flux, SC-9 Jaded and SC-96 Aqu-ward into each of the AC-220 Detailer Tips and 1 oz Bottles.
  7. Take the bottle with SW-401 Light Flux and make a scalloped line going around the upper, inside of the bowl.
  8. Take the bottle with SC-96 Aqu-ward and make dots above the scalloped line. One dot where each scallop goes down.
  9. Take the bottle with SC-9 Jaded and make dots below the scalloped line. One dot where each scallop goes up.
  10. Allow glaze to dry.
  11. Using the Soft Fan with SW-253 Green Opal, apply 2 coats to the front of the bowl. Allow glaze to dry between coats.
  12. Fire to cone 6.
